Phenyl silicone fluids are phenyl-modified silicone ingredients designed for personal care and cosmetic formulations requiring enhanced gloss, optical clarity, spreadability, oil compatibility, and a smooth, non-sticky after-feel.
The introduction of phenyl groups increases the refractive index of the silicone structure and provides performance characteristics that differ from conventional dimethicone fluids. Depending on the selected INCI and viscosity, these fluids can support high-gloss finishes, pigment and UV-filter dispersion, powder wetting, sensory modification, film formation, and water-resistant formulation properties.
The series includes Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone, Diphenyl Dimethicone, Trimethyl Pentaphenyl Trisiloxane, and Phenyl Trimethicone grades.
INCI Name | Model No. | Viscosity (25℃, cs) | Flash Point (℃) | Refractive Index (25℃) | Product Features and Applications |
Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone | 9-553 | 15 | ≥100 | 1.498 | Good compatibility with polar oils and silicone oils, which can increase the dispersibility and stability of chemical sunscreens, powders, and silicone oils, and increase the sun protection factor. |
Diphenyl dimethicone | 9-554 | 400 | ≥150 | 1.505 | Good compatibility with organic esters, higher gloss in the formula, easy to suspend in water, obtaining shiny oil droplets particles, enhancing product aesthetics and skin feel. |
5000 | ≥150 | 1.505 | With high viscosity and high gloss, it can significantly enhance the long-lasting gloss of the product. | ||
30 | ≥150 | 1.480 | Compared with traditional phenyl silicone fluids, it has better gloss and skin feel. | ||
Trimethyl Pentaphenyl Trisiloxane | 9-555 | 160-190 | ≥150 | 1.580 | Ultra high refractive index, oxidation resistance, waterproof and breathable, refreshing and easy to spread. |
Phenyl Trimethicone | 9-556 | 22 | ≥100 | 1.461 | It has good glossiness, can improve spreading and sliding, and has good organic compatibility without stickness. |
Phenyl silicone fluids have refractive indices ranging from 1.461 to 1.580. These values allow formulators to select different levels of optical brilliance, transparency, and gloss for skincare, sun care, and color cosmetic systems.
Model 9-555 provides the highest refractive index in the series and is suitable for formulations requiring pronounced brilliance and a high-gloss appearance. High-viscosity Model 9-554 supports a richer, more persistent glossy finish.
Selected grades provide compatibility with polar oils, silicone oils, organic esters, and other compatible cosmetic emollients. This allows them to be incorporated into different oil-phase systems while supporting formulation uniformity and sensory performance.
Compatibility should be confirmed with the complete emollient, pigment, UV-filter, fragrance, and active-ingredient system.
Model 9-553 can support the distribution and stability of compatible organic UV filters, powders, and silicone oils. Improved ingredient distribution can help create a more uniform formulation and smoother application.
Any effect on SPF, UVA protection, photostability, or water resistance must be verified through testing of the finished sunscreen formulation.
Low-viscosity phenyl silicone grades provide easy spreading, slip, and a smooth surface feel without excessive stickiness. They can help balance rich cosmetic oils and high-gloss ingredients while maintaining a lighter sensory profile.
Model 9-556 is particularly suitable for formulations requiring organic-oil compatibility, improved glide, and a non-sticky finish.
Selected phenyl silicone fluids can leave a thin, uniform film after application. Model 9-555 combines a high refractive index with water-resistant and oxidation-resistant properties, supporting formulations that require gloss retention and a lightweight protective finish.
Finished-product film integrity and water resistance depend on the complete formulation and should be confirmed through application testing.
Model 9-553 can support the dispersion and stability of compatible organic UV filters, powders, and silicone oils in sun care formulations. Its low viscosity also supports spreading and the formation of a more uniform product layer during application.
Phenyl Silicone Fluids can be evaluated in foundations, primers, concealers, lip products, and other compatible color cosmetics requiring gloss, smooth application, pigment distribution, or an elegant after-feel.
Model 9-555 is suitable for high-brilliance requirements, while Model 9-554 provides different viscosity options for adjusting gloss, body, and application texture. Models 9-553 and 9-556 support lighter spreading and slip.
High-viscosity Model 9-554 and ultra-high-refractive-index Model 9-555 are suitable for formulations where a pronounced glossy appearance is required. They can support optical brilliance while allowing the formulator to adjust viscosity and surface feel.
Model 9-554 at 5,000 cSt provides greater body and longer-lasting gloss, while Model 9-555 provides the highest refractive index in the series.
Low- and medium-viscosity grades can be evaluated in compatible skincare formulations to improve glide, spreadability, softness, and the after-feel of the oil phase. They can help reduce the heavy or sticky sensation associated with some cosmetic oils and emollients.
Model 9-556 provides a particularly light and non-sticky sensory profile, while Model 9-553 supports compatibility with selected polar and silicone oils.
The 400 cSt grade of Model 9-554 can be evaluated in formulations designed to display suspended, glossy oil droplets. The product is not a water-soluble ingredient or a standalone emulsifier.
Phenyl silicone fluids are available in:
25 kg plastic drums
200 kg plastic drums
Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent contamination.
Store phenyl silicone fluids in their original sealed packaging below 30 °C, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and contamination.
Under the recommended storage conditions, the shelf life is 24 months from the production date.
Phenyl silicone fluids are supplied as non-dangerous goods for transport under ordinary cargo conditions.
Model 9-555 has a refractive index of 1.580, the highest value in the series.
Model 9-554 is available in 30, 400, and 5,000 cSt grades for different spreading, gloss, and texture requirements.
Model 9-553 is designed to support the dispersion of compatible organic UV filters, powders, and silicone ingredients.
No. It can be used to create visible oil-droplet effects in properly stabilized aqueous systems, but it requires a suitable emulsifier or suspending structure.
Model 9-556 provides easy spreading, slip, organic-oil compatibility, and a smooth, non-sticky after-feel.
No. Refractive index primarily affects optical appearance and gloss. SPF and UVA performance must be verified in the finished sunscreen formulation.
