Lock in your colors and powders with a silicone resin

Silicone Resins

Grant's silicone resins are designed to act as hydrophobic binders to add non-transfer properties to your make-up while retaining flexiblity and improving wear. We have two classes of resin, silicone acrylate and M-Q resins. For the acrylate type, we scientifically kept the Tg (glass transition temperature) in mind by using butyl acrylates so the polymer never crystallizes to a hard film. The dimethicone backbone in the molecule adds flexiblity. Top brands use our polymers to avoid smearing and smudging of their mascara and eye liners, while increasing the waterproof nature of the product. The M-Q class is more conventional, but uses a cosmetic grade of cyclopentasiloxane that has a low D4 content for compliance with all global regulations.

Product DescriptionINCI Name
Granacrysil BAS
Granacrysil BAS is a copolymer of silicone-grafted polybutylacrylate with a sufficient low glass temperature that it is a pourable polymer at room temperature and give superior water resistance and durability in make-up and lip products. Butyl Acrylate/Hydroxypropyl Dimethicone Acrylate Copolymer
Granacrysil BMAS
Granacrysil BMAS is a 40% solution of a copolymer of isobutylmethacrylate and silicone-grafted acrylate in isoparaffin as an ideal film-former for color makeup products such as foundations, lipsticks, mascaras, eyeshadows, concealers and blushes. Isododecane (and) Isobutylmethacrylate/Bis-Hydroxypropyl Dimethicone Acrylate Copolymer
Gransil TSS-5
Commonly known as M-Q resin type for extended wear applications Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Trimethylsiloxysilicate
