Silanetriol is a chemical compound derived from organic silicon.

The name describes the structure of the molecule:

• Silane refers to the base structure of silane, a silicon compound. Silanes are used in chemistry to create a variety of silicon derivatives.
• triol indicates the presence of three hydroxyl groups (OH) in the molecule. These hydroxyl groups can impart moisturizing and binding properties to the compound.

Raw Materials and Their Functions

Silicon. An element used as the base for the production of silanetriol. Silicon is fundamental to the molecular structure of the compound.

Hydroxyl Groups. Essential components of silanetriol, they contribute to its hydrating properties and its ability to bond with other compounds.

Industrial Chemical Synthesis of Silanetriol

• Organic Synthesis  with the reaction of silicon-based compounds with hydroxyl groups to form silanetriol.
• Reaction Control. The synthesis reaction is monitored to ensure it occurs correctly and the final product has the desired properties.
• Purification. After synthesis, silanetriol is purified to remove impurities and by-products.
• Quality Control. The purified silanetriol undergoes quality checks to ensure it meets the required standards. After quality control, it is packaged for use in cosmetic and skincare products, where it utilizes its hydrating and regenerative properties.

Form and Color

 Silanetriol is typically a liquid usually colorless or very light in color.

What it is used for and where

Medicine

Regenerates elastin fibres in connective tissues by stimulating the fibroplast cells responsible for the elasticity of the dermis and protects collagen, a protein found in bones, blood vessels, cartilage, tendons, membranes and integument.  It alleviates joint discomfort and fatigue after exercise.

Cosmetics

Skin and hair conditioner as a protective agent often used alongside panthenol.

Hair conditioning agent. A significant number of ingredients with specific and targeted purposes may co-exist in hair shampoo formulations: cleansers, conditioners, thickeners, matting agents, sequestering agents, fragrances, preservatives, special additives. However, the indispensable ingredients are the cleansers and conditioners as they are necessary and sufficient for hair cleansing and manageability. The others act as commercial and non-essential auxiliaries such as: appearance, fragrance, colouring, etc. Hair conditioning agents have the task of increasing shine, manageability and volume, and reducing static electricity, especially after treatments such as colouring, ironing, waving, drying and brushing. They are, in practice, dispersants that may contain cationic surfactants, thickeners, emollients, polymers. The typology of hair conditioning agents includes: intensive conditioners, instant conditioners, thickening conditioners, drying conditioners. They can perform their task generally accompanied by other different ingredients.
