Description

Limonenyltrisiloxane, 4-5 Cst CAS NO 1263044-00-3 is a specialized organosilicon compound featuring a limonene-derived functional group attached to a short-chain trisiloxane backbone. This unique molecular structure provides a versatile combination of silicone fluid properties with the reactive potential and fragrance of limonene, making it a valuable intermediate and functional additive. It is primarily sought by formulators and manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for its ability to impart specific sensory characteristics, enhance spreading, and act as a reactive diluent or coupling agent.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a spreading agent, emollient, or fragrance-fixing component in lotions, creams, and hair care products.
• Functional Additive: Serves as a reactive diluent or coupling agent in silicone-based resin and polymer formulations.
• Specialty Lubricants: Employed as a base fluid or additive in high-performance lubricants requiring specific wetting and spreading properties.
• Release Agents: Acts as a component in mold release formulations for plastics and rubber manufacturing.
• Surface Treatment: Utilized to modify surface energy and provide hydrophobic characteristics to various substrates.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Incorporated to adjust rheology, improve adhesion to low-energy surfaces, or impart specific functional groups.
