Triethoxycaprylylsilane (TC)-Treated Pigments; INCI name: Triethoxycaprylylsilane
Triethoxycaprylylsilane, C8 (TC)-treated pigments and fillers are coated with an alkyl silane which provides a very hydrophobic coating that increases the ease of particle dispersion in natural and synthetic fluids and helps to stabilize particles in emulsion systems.
TC Treatment Benefits:
- Improves pigment performance in oils and silicones
- Economical hydrophobic pigment treatment
- Decreases oil absorption
- Improves wear on skin
Recommended Uses:
- BB creams
- Foundations
- Pressed powders
- Hot pours

Conditioning Lipstick with TC Pigments
Unlike many silicones and silicone derivatives, Vertasil® Tocopheryloxypropyltrisiloxane TM-VE1 is easily incorporated into lip products due to its solubility of in a range of polar compounds, including castor oil. The benefits of Vertasil® Tocopheryloxypropyltrisiloxane TM-VE1 in lip products include conditioning, softening, and protection against the drying effects of the environment. The Triethoxycaprylylsilane (TC)-treated pigments are easy to disperse into oil and improve wear on the lips. Stearyl Triethoxysilane (SS) pearls have a more luxurious feel with improved adhesion versus untreated pearls.
