Products in Treated Pigments & Powders: Talc

Gelest Talc SR (TA7-SRA) is a white to off-white powder treated with trimethylsiloxysilicate. The hydroxyl-terminated silsesquioxane network in the coating improves adhesion to skin and hair, making it ideal for enhancing the esthetics of various color cosmetic formulations. This pigment is the best candidate for use in long-wearing and water-resistant makeup.

Gelest Talc HS (TA7-HSA) is a white to off-white powder treated with disodium carboxyethyl siliconate. This pigment is used to enhance the esthetics of various color cosmetics. It has a higher tinting strength and a reduced tendency for color flotation and plate-out.

Gelest Talc TC (TA7-TCA) is a white to off-white powder treated with triethoxycaprylylsilane. This alkyl silane coating provides a very hydrophobic surface that increases the ease of particle dispersion in natural and synthetic fluids and helps stabilize particles in emulsion systems. It is used to enhance the esthetics of various color cosmetics.

Gelest Talc SS (TA7-SSA) is a white to off-white powder treated with stearyl triethoxysilane. This hydrophobic treatment imparts the excellent wetting properties of the shorter-chain silanes with a more emollient skin feel in powders and dispersed systems. It is used to enhance the esthetics of various color cosmetic formulations.

Gelest Talc ML (TA7-MLA) is a white powder treated with dimethicone PEG-3 laurate. This treatment allows for high pigment loading, water repellency, and low viscosity dispersion to maximize color intensity. It is used to enhance the esthetics of various color cosmetics.
