Unlock Superior Performance & Water Resistance

IOTA 91002 Trimethylsiloxysilicate [INCI/CTFA] is a high-purity, functional silicone resin designed to deliver exceptional water repellency and enhance the performance of your cosmetic and personal care products. This versatile white solid powder integrates seamlessly into diverse formulations, offering significant formulation flexibility and a compelling environmental profile during its production.

Engineered for Versatility & Performance

• Superior Water Repellency: Its core strength lies in providing outstanding resistance to wash-off, significantly boosting the longevity and durability of products exposed to water, perspiration, or humidity. This makes it indispensable for sunscreens, long-wear makeup, and protective skincare.

• Broad Solubility Profile: IOTA 91002 demonstrates excellent solubility across a wide range of carriers crucial for cosmetic formulation. It readily dissolves in:

  • Silicone Fluids: Hexamethyldisiloxane (MM), Cyclomethicones (D4, D5, D6), Low viscosity Dimethicones.

  • Organic Solvents: Xylene, Alcohol (Ethanol), Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA).

  • Insoluble in Water.

• Eco-Conscious Production: Manufactured with environmental considerations, aligning with the growing demand for more sustainable ingredients.

• Optimal Physical Properties: Presented as a free-flowing white solid powder with low volatility (≤ 2%), ensuring stability and ease of handling. Its favorable bulk density (0.56-0.61 g/cm³) facilitates processing and incorporation.

Diverse Applications for Enhanced Benefits

Incorporate IOTA 91002 to elevate performance across multiple categories:

1. Skin Protection & Sun Care: Creates a resilient, water-resistant barrier in sunscreens and protective lotions, enhancing SPF efficacy and sweat resistance.

2. Color Cosmetics: Improves the transfer resistance, longevity, and waterproof properties of foundations, primers, mascaras, eyeliners, and lip products.

3. Facial Makeup & Decorative Cosmetics: Enhances the smooth application, spreadability, and lasting power of powders, blushes, and other facial colorants.

4. Skincare (Lotions & Creams): Imparts a luxurious, silky feel and provides a protective, water-repellent film without compromising skin feel.

5. Hair Treatment Products: Delivers conditioning benefits, reduces frizz, and enhances shine while offering protection from humidity.

Simple & Effective Integration

For optimal results:

1. Pre-Mix: Pre-dissolve IOTA 91002 in a suitable solvent before incorporating it into your main formulation base.

2. Recommended Solvents: For easiest dissolution and best compatibility, low viscosity Dimethicone or Cyclopentasiloxane (D5) are the preferred choices. Xylene, Alcohol, or IPA can also be used effectively depending on your formulation requirements and solvent tolerance.

3. Ratio Guidance: A typical starting point is a 1:1 (wt.) ratio of Trimethylsiloxysilicate to solvent. Adjust based on desired viscosity and final product concentration.

Choose IOTA 91002 Trimethylsiloxysilicate to:

• Achieve outstanding, long-lasting water resistance.

• Enhance product durability and transfer resistance.

• Access formulation versatility with broad solvent compatibility.
