ShinEtsu KF-56A – Phenyl Silicone Fluid for Cosmetics Additive

Shin-Etsu KF-56A is a premium cosmetic grade phenyl trimethicone and methylphenyl silicone fluid designed to provide extraordinary gloss and thermal stability. Known for its high refractive index silicone properties, it is the industry standard for achieving a luxury shine in personal care and specialty coatings.
PRODUCTS DESCRIPTION

Shin-Etsu KF-56A is a specialized phenyl modified silicone oil that stands out due to its high refractive index of 1.46. Unlike standard dimethicone, this low viscosity phenyl silicone offers superior compatibility with organic ingredients, including ethanol and oils, making it an essential hair care shine additive. Its unique molecular structure provides a non-greasy, silky feel while significantly enhancing the "gloss" factor in color cosmetics and hair treatments.


Beyond aesthetics, KF-56A is a highly thermal stable phenyl silicone, capable of withstanding extreme temperatures in industrial and automotive applications. In the sun care sector, it is widely utilized as a sunscreen booster silicone, helping to improve the SPF performance and spreadability of UV filters. For technical professionals, the Shin-Etsu KF-56A TDS confirms its reliability as a moisture barrier and oxidation-resistant fluid for high-performance formulations.

Key features

  • Superior High Refractive Index – Features a high refractive index silicone (1.46) that maximizes light reflection for an instant, radiant gloss in hair and skin products.

  • Broad Organic Compatibility – This phenyl trimethicone is easily miscible with fatty acids, alcohols, and esters, providing versatile formulation flexibility.

  • Thermal and Oxidative Stability – Functions as a thermal stable phenyl silicone, resisting degradation in high-heat environments like hair styling tools or industrial machinery.

  • Enhanced Sensory Profile – A specialized low viscosity phenyl silicone that provides a rich, smooth skin feel while reducing the stickiness of other cosmetic ingredients.

  • Advanced SPF Support – Acts as a proven sunscreen booster silicone, optimizing the dispersion of mineral UV filters and enhancing water resistance.


Application
  • Hair Styling & Glossing – Used as a primary hair care shine additive in serums, sprays, and conditioners to eliminate frizz and provide a "glass-hair" finish.

  • Luxury Color Cosmetics – Integrated into lipsticks and foundations as a cosmetic grade phenyl trimethicone to enhance color vibrancy and surface gloss.

  • Daily Sun Care – Formulated into sunscreens as a phenyl modified silicone oil to improve skin adherence and boost SPF efficacy.

  • Skin Care Emulsions – Applied in premium lotions as a methylphenyl silicone fluid to provide moisture protection without a heavy, oily residue.

  • Industrial High-Heat Lubricants – Utilized in technical fields where a thermal stable phenyl silicone is required for lubrication under extreme heat conditions.
