3 CST Viscosity Caprylyl Methicone silicone Oil More Than 99% Purity

3 CST Viscosity Caprylyl Methicone silicone Oil More Than 99% Purity

Description

BT-6034 Volatile Alkyl Methyl Siloxane Fluid is a caprylyl branched trisiloxane as described in Figure 1. The siloxane consists of three silicone atoms, which is the shortest Dimethicone, and an octyl group is attached on the middle silicone.

Features

•  Moderate volatility
•  Compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients
•  Clear and colorless
•  Low viscosity and surface tension
•  Lowers surface tension of organic oils
•  Co-solubilizer between silicone oil and hydrocarbon oil
•  Disperse dye and pigment

Usage  

BT-6034 Volatile Alkyl Methyl Siloxane Fluid is added into the oil phase and mixed until solved or dispersed evenly. Due to the presence of the caprylyl group on the silicone backbone, this ingredient has good compatibility with a wide range of organic ingredients and pigments while maintaining very good spreading.
This results in a less dry feel and a richer feel when compared to volatile silicones – but still very light due to the moderate volatility. Being nonflammable and very compatible, this material is easy to handle and to incorporate in a broad range of formulations including lipsticks and pigmented formulations. It can help to reduce white residues in formulations containing a high level of volatile materials. Recommended use level is between 5 and 20%.
