Introduction: A New Era in Personal Care
The beauty and personal care industry is constantly evolving, with consumers demanding products that not only deliver results but also offer a luxurious experience. IOTA 91003 Trimethylsiloxysilicate and Cyclomethicone is at the forefront of this revolution, offering formulators a powerful tool to create products that meet and exceed these expectations. This innovative blend combines the best of silicone technology with the practicality of cyclomethicones, resulting in a versatile ingredient that enhances product performance in countless ways.

Technical Excellence: The Building Blocks of IOTA 91003

1. Appearance and Physical Properties: IOTA 91003 presents as a colorless transparent to light yellow translucent fluid, with a specific gravity of 1.000-1.100 and a refractive index of 1.400-1.4070 at 25°C. Its viscosity ranges from 300-500 cP, making it easy to handle and incorporate into formulations.
2. Volatility and Evaporation: The volatile cyclomethicones in IOTA 91003 ensure rapid evaporation upon application, leaving behind a lightweight, non-sticky residue. This property is particularly beneficial in products where a quick-drying finish is desired, such as hair sprays or setting sprays.
3. Film-Forming and Protective Capabilities: The MQ silicone resin in IOTA 91003 forms a durable, flexible film that adheres well to surfaces. This film not only enhances product longevity but also provides a protective barrier against environmental stressors, making it ideal for skincare and haircare applications.
