Gransil CS

Gransil CS Fluid is a castor oil-silicone ester prepared by an esterification reaction of castor oil with silicone carbinol in a compositional ratio of 75:25 by weight. As a result of the chemical linkage to castor oil, the silicone component will blend with and remain in the oil base, which is a crucial requirement associated with the use of silicone oils. Gransil CS Fluid is capable of coupling silicone oils with waxes or vegetable oils and has an excellent compatibility with most oil components in make-up formulas. Gransil CS Fluid delivers typical silicone benefits such as silky, smooth feel and good speadability. Gransil CS Fluid is a good dispersing agent for pigments due to its increased wetting ability and low surface tension. In addition, Gransil CS Fluid reduces oily feel and offers added gloss to finished products.
