Siltech's Silmer G-162-F5 represents a new generation of silicone elastomer technology—engineered for formulators who want to shape not only how a product performs, but how it feels and looks on the skin. This advanced elastomer delivers a refined balance of cushion, glide, and controlled play time, thanks to its precisely tuned viscoelastic profile. From first touch to final dry down, it creates a sensorial journey that feels elevated, intentional, and unmistakably modern.
At the heart of the Silmer G-162-F5 platform is an engineered gloss index that allows formulators to modulate optical effects with precision. Whether the goal is high impact radiance or a soft focus veil, this single technology unlocks two distinct aesthetic directions.
The standard grade, Silmer G-162-F5, is crafted for those who want to Shine. It imparts a glossy, high shine finish that amplifies light reflection and enhances the appearance of smoothness. Ideal for luminous primers, radiant foundations, and glow forward skincare hybrids, it creates a polished, camera ready sheen that feels indulgent without heaviness.
For brands seeking a more understated elegance, Silmer G-162-F5-M offers a contrasting yet complementary effect—what we call Shy. This matte leaning grade softens the look of texture with a gentle blurring effect, while maintaining a subtle dewy cast that keeps skin looking alive, not flat. It’s the perfect choice for modern matte foundations, soft touch complexion products, and skincare formulas that aim for a natural skin finish.
Together, Shine and Shy give formulators the freedom to design across a full spectrum of visual and tactile experiences—all from one versatile elastomer platform. With Silmer G 162 F5, performance becomes artistry, and formulation becomes expression.
