Technical Profile: SDI TiO2 AS Surface Treatment

Advanced Hydrophobicity with Triethoxycaprylylsilane

SDI TiO2 AS is engineered with a Triethoxycaprylylsilane (AS) surface treatment that transforms the pigment from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. This coating covalently bonds to the particle surface, creating a durable, water-resistant barrier. The result is ideal performance in long-wear foundations, water-resistant sunscreens, and color cosmetics that resist smudging and fading.

Formulation Benefits of an AS-Coated Pigment

The hydrophobic surface dramatically improves compatibility with oils, esters, and silicones commonly used in cosmetic systems. This enables faster, easier dispersion during manufacturing, reducing energy input and processing time. Formulas become more homogenous and stable with improved skin adhesion, a luxurious non-greasy feel, and a soft-focus matte finish that helps blur fine lines.

Key Formulation Benefits

  • Enhanced Dispersibility: Easily disperses in oils, silicones, and esters to achieve smooth, uniform formulas.
  • Superior Hydrophobicity: Enables water-resistant, long-wearing performance in foundations and sunscreens.
  • Improved Skin Feel & Adhesion: Provides a silky, non-greasy texture with excellent affinity to the skin for comfortable wear.
  • High Opacity & Matte Finish: Offers brilliant whiteness and strong hiding power for a flawless, soft-focus matte effect.
