Request SDS →Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone (CAS 144243-53-8) is a silicone polyether (dimethicone copolyol) surfactant. It is used as an emulsifier in cosmetic and personal-care formulations, particularly water-in-oil and water-in-silicone systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone used for in cosmetics?
It is a silicone polyether (dimethicone copolyol) used as an emulsifier in cosmetic and personal-care formulations, particularly water-in-oil and water-in-silicone systems. It bridges aqueous and silicone phases to stabilize the emulsion. RawSource supplies it in bulk to formulators.
Is cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone a silicone?
Yes. It is a silicone polyether, a dimethicone copolyol in which a silicone (dimethicone) backbone carries PEG/PPG and cetyl groups. This structure gives it surface-active, emulsifying behavior. The CAS is 144243-53-8.
Is cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone water soluble?
It is an amphiphilic surfactant rather than a freely water-soluble material; it is a low-HLB emulsifier favored for water-in-oil and water-in-silicone systems, where it disperses water into an oil or silicone continuous phase. Confirm HLB and dosing against the technical data sheet for your grade.
What is the INCI name and CAS for this dimethicone copolyol?
The INCI name is Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone and the CAS is 144243-53-8. It is classified as a silicone polyether emulsifier. Confirm the exact grade and active level against the CoA for your lot.
What bulk packaging and documentation does RawSource provide?
It typically ships as a fluid in pails, drums, or totes depending on volume, with HS classification generally under 391000 (silicones in primary forms). A CoA and SDS accompany each lot. Submit a bulk RFQ for current pricing.
