Expert Verdict
As a reactive trimethoxysilane monomer, it releases methanol upon hydrolysis. In finished cosmetic products it is typically present as a reacted/polymerized component, not free monomer. Residual unreacted monomer levels should be controlled.. Prepared by reaction of allyl PEG-10 methyl ether with trimethoxysilane; the PEG chain provides hydrophilic character while the trimethoxysilane enables condensation into silsesquioxane networks.
