Silica Dimethyl Silylate

Silica Dimethyl Silylate is a hydrophobic fumed silica that thickens oils and polyols and suspends particles in oils. It may provide thickening properties in the presence of polar solvents (e.g. dipropylene glycol, triethyl citrate or propylene carbonate).

It forms transparent gels in oils (e.g. mineral oil, castor oil, plant oils). Thickens oil phases in emulsions and increases viscosity and gloss of various oils by forming oil-gels. Improves payoff in lipsticks. Reduces pigment settling and oil bleeding in lipsticks. Provides grip in powder products (e.g. dry shampoos) and adds volume to dry shampoo products
