AS Surface Treated Pigments

Description: Alkyl Silane Surface Treated Pigments
Benefits: Extremely hydrophobic surface treatment for ease of dispersion into oils and silicones.
INCI Name: see Sensient data sheet
Manufacturer: Sensient


Properties

Alkyl Silane (AS) treatment provides a shear-resistant coating that imparts a regular, highly hydrophobic surface to cosmetic pigments and powders. The chemically bound coating ties up reactive sites on pigment particle surfaces eliminating the potential for chemical reactivity with other components of a system. They are particularly suitable for W/O and W/Si emulsions, Anhydrous mousses, Pressed or loose powders, Waterproof Mascaras and for Long lasting lipsticks. The special properties of the AS treatment are:

  • Excellent hydrophobicity
  • Easy dispersibility in oils (at over 50% solids)
  • Improves wetting in a large range of cosmetic oils (incl. silicone)
  • Lower oil absorption compared to untreated pigments
  • Allows fluid and bright high solid dispersion
  • Improvement of pigment dispersion and color development.
  • Provides long lasting properties to your formulations
