Gransil EPSQ
Gransil EPSQ is a hybrid silicone composite powder consisting of two interlacing polymer networks of polydimethylsiloxane and polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ) The two polymers are interwoven, but not covalently bonded to each other on the molecular scale. This type of polymer structure is referred to as interpenetration polymer network (IPN), which is not a simple mixture of two polymer materials. The characteristic and physical properties of each individual network are changed, resulting in a new material with novel properties. In comparison with pure silicone elastomers, Gransil EPSQ features a drier, more slippery feel after being dispersed in cyclomethicone or low viscosity silicone fluids. In addition, Gransil EPSQ has a higher oil absorption capacity and an increased compatibility with vegetable oils. Gransil EPSQ offers the best performance when combined with low viscosity silicone or hydrocarbon fluids. For dispersing, Gransil EPSQ should be sprinkled into a fluid with vigorous mixing. Gransil EPSQ also offers a formula with excellent optical blurring effect for wrinkles and sebum absorption for matte finish.
