CAS 128446-57-1: Siloxanes and Silicones, di-Me, stearyl group-terminated

Description:Siloxanes and Silicones, di-Me, stearyl group-terminated, identified by CAS number 128446-57-1, are a class of organosilicon compounds characterized by their unique siloxane backbone, which consists of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms. The "di-Me" designation indicates the presence of two methyl groups attached to the silicon atoms, while the stearyl group termination contributes to the compound's hydrophobic properties and enhances its compatibility with various organic materials. These compounds typically exhibit low surface tension, making them effective as surfactants and emulsifiers. They are known for their thermal stability, chemical resistance, and ability to impart a smooth, silky feel to formulations. Additionally, they are often used in personal care products, lubricants, and coatings due to their excellent spreading and wetting properties. The presence of long-chain alkyl groups, such as stearyl, also contributes to their ability to reduce friction and improve the overall performance of products in which they are incorporated. Overall, these characteristics make them valuable in a wide range of industrial and consumer applications.
