Trifluoromethyl C1-4 Alkyl Dimethicone is a clear liquid a fluoro silicone fluid containing trifluoroalkyl groups in its molecular structure. Trifluoroalkyl organic branch distribution is chaotic along the silicone backbone which enhances the lubricity and water-repellency characteristics of this ingredient in skin and hair care products.
The benefits of Trifluoromethyl C1-4 Alkyl Dimethicone include:
- Exhibits excellent lubricity properties
- Forms a protective barrier when formulated in skin and hair care products
- Exhibits antifoam characteristics due to its unique surface activity
Trifluoromethyl C1-4 Alkyl Dimethicone can be incorporated into a wide variety of cosmetic applications including protective creams (liquid glove) suntan creams and lotions, body lotions, shampoos, conditioners and wherever conditioning, lubricity, and water resistance are desired.
