SILWAY* **6
INCI Name: Caprylyl Methicone
PERSONAL CARE INDUSTRY
Low Surface Tension Caprylyl Methicone Silicone Oil for
cosmetic
Description
Silway **6 Fluid is a caprylyl branched trisiloxane as described in
Figure 1. The siloxane consists of three silicon atoms, which is
the shortest Dimethicone, and an octyl group is attached on the
middle silicon.

Usage
Silway **6 Fluid is added into the oil phase and mixed until solved
or dispersed evenly. Due to the presence of the caprylyl group on
the silicone backbone, this ingredient has good compatibility with
a wide range of organic ingredients and pigments while maintaining
very good spreading.
This results in a less dry feel and a richer feel when compared to
volatile silicones but still very light due to the moderate
volatility. Being nonflammable and very compatible, this material
is easy to handle and to incorporate in a broad range of
formulations including lipsticks and pigmented formulations. It can
help to reduce white residues in formulations containing a high
level of volatile materials. Recommended use level is between 5 and
*0%.
