- Product Highlights
- Trisiloxanes contain a cluster of seven methyl groups which form one of the lowest energy fexible structures known. The structure has been compared to a hydrophobic cloud. By altering the length and polarity of the organic substituent trisiloxanes range from light dry feeling volatile liquids to emollient fuids and, with polar substitution, super-wetting surfactants. Alkyltrisiloxanes with 6 to 12 carbons in the organic substituent are light, dry, emollient oils with good organic compatibility, particularly when compared to phenyl trimethicone. They are used to enhance slip and reduce tack in skin care and color cosmetics. Organic and inorganic pigments are readily wetted and dispersed in alkyl trisiloxanes, facilitating use in foundations, eyeshadows, blushes and lip color. Organic modifed siloxanes that cross the boundaries between organics and silicones. SiBrid® fuids are soluble in most organics and silicones.
- SiBrid TM-081 Capryyl Methicone offers an exceptionally light, dry feel combined with excellent spreading qualities. SiBrid TM-081 is an excellent vehicle for long wearing foundations and eyeshadows. It also performs well as an additive in bath and tanning oils to enhance spreadability and reduce tack in many oil-based formulations.
