  • Patent number: 12060464
    Abstract: Provided is a silicone resin coated silicone elastomer particle which can be easily produced on an industrial scale, has superior dispersibility and oil absorptivity in a curable organic resin such as an epoxy resin, and has superior workability due to low secondary aggregation compared to conventional silicone elastomer particles. Also provided are applications containing the particles such as organic resin additives, organic resins, coating compositions or coating agent compositions, and cosmetic compositions. The silicone resin coated silicone elastomer particles have part or all of their surface coated with a silicone resin made up of two types of siloxane units. The siloxane units are selected from D units represented by R2SiO2/2, T units represented by RSiO3/2, and Q units represented by SiO4/2. The particles also have a structure in which at least two silicon atoms in the particles are cross-linked by a silalkylene group with 2 to 20 carbon atoms.

  • Publication number: 20240058256
    Abstract: Provided are silicone elastomer particles that have higher oil absorbency than conventional products and are less prone to aggregation, making the particles superior in handling workability as a cosmetic raw material and imparting a superior tactile sensation and feel during use to a cosmetic product. Specifically, silicone elastomer particles, having a structure in which at least two silicon atoms in a silicone elastomer particle are crosslinked by a divalent organic group having a partial structure formed by radical polymerization of vinyl acetate, as expressed by —{CH2—CH(COOCH3)}t— (where t is 1 or more), as well as a use thereof, are provided. In particular, the silicone elastomer particles have a crosslinked structure that is active with respect to biodegradability. Therefore, primary particles thereof are expected to have a property of disintegrating with the generation of non-crosslinked siloxane molecules due to a decomposition reaction of microorganisms and the like in the natural world.
