Frequently Asked Questions

What is behenyl methicone used for?

Behenyl Methicone (CAS 17927-28-3) is a behenyl (C22) alkyl-modified dimethicone, a wax-like silicone. It is used in personal-care formulation as an emollient and skin- and hair-conditioning agent and as a structuring silicone wax in anhydrous and emulsion systems, including sticks, balms, and color cosmetics. RawSource supplies it in bulk.

What is behenyl methicone in chemistry terms?

Behenyl methicone is a dimethicone whose backbone carries pendant behenyl (C22) alkyl groups, giving it a high-melt, wax-like character. CAS is 17927-28-3 and it is classified under HS 3910.00 as a silicone in primary form. RawSource provides full identity documentation with each order.

Why is behenyl methicone used as a structurant?

Its long C22 alkyl chains raise the melt point, so behenyl methicone acts as a high-melt silicone wax that structures sticks, balms, and color cosmetics while supporting water-resistant, long-wear films. It also delivers a dry, non-greasy silicone emollient feel. RawSource supplies it in bulk to formulators.
