Sparsh TMS: Redefining the Touch Technology with Tri Methyl Siloxy Silicate Treated Pigments
TMS is necessary to accomplish effects like “dryness,” “waterproof and anti-sweat,” and “long-lasting makeup,” as well as to guarantee that the product’s performance satisfies customer demands. Over time, this cosmetic agent has taken up a significant portion of the cosmetics market. However, are you aware of what TMS is exactly? To learn more about TMS and the advantages of TMS-treated pigments, let’s go further into this blog.
What is TMS?
Trimethylsiloxysilicate is a chemical compound made up of silicon atoms joined to trimethylsiloxy groups (CH3)3SiOCH3)3SiO on a siloxane (silicon-oxygen) backbone. This unique structure imparts a range of beneficial properties, making it a versatile ingredient in cosmetic and personal care formulations. Its inclusion in formulations enhances the performance and functionality of products, providing long-lasting effects, improved texture, and superior adhesion. Because of the growing desire for quality of life, cosmetics are changing quickly, and new products are being released on a regular basis. Consequently, TMS must be added to cosmetic and personal care products to enhance their effectiveness in order to produce a perfect base and enhance their application.
Physical Properties of TMS
- Appearance: Appears as a white to off-white powder.
- Molecular weight: The degree of polymerisation affects high molecular weight.
- Density: 1.0–1.2 g/cm3, which is low.
- Viscosity: Low to extremely high.
- Refractive Index: 1.40 to 1.45 is the range.
- Volatility: Not easily evaporated and non-volatile.

Proven Benefits of TMS
- Absorption Capability: The transfer-proof quality of TMS is demonstrated by its reduction in residual quantity, which improves adsorption capacity. The formulation provides a long-lasting effect since TMS has a good hold on the skin.
- Strong Oil Resistance: The pigment in the TMS series maintains its form and colour, demonstrating a long-lasting effect and suitability for oily skin types.
- Boosts Stability: The formulation TMS coated exhibits no change, including the separation of the oil phase that is seen in CS & DM coated pigments, even after moderate heat contact.
- Dispersibility: TMS-coated pigment exhibits a strong binding with the medium, which keeps it distributed, while CS-and-DM-coated pigment settles to the bottom. In contrast, the bond between the Cyclopentasiloxane medium and the pigments present is weaker.
- Colour Performance: The superior hue and strength of TMS-coated pigments over CS and DM-coated pigments indicates that TMS will exhibit superior colour performance in the final formulation.
- Colour Strength: Compared to CS and DM, TMS-coated colours are stronger and have a cleaner shade.
- Microscopic Test: Unlike in CS & DM, particles in TMS are equally distributed.
Conclusion
TMS is most commonly found in cosmetics and personal care items such creams, facial masques, sunblock, eye shadow, mascara, lipsticks, foundations, and more. It makes these products more responsive to the skin’s surface, enhancing their longevity and resilience to moisture while shielding the skin from environmental harm.
In order to satisfy the demands of consumers in various applications, Koel Colours, one of the top producers of Cosmetic pigments, introduces TMS with the goal of serving numerous well-known brands both domestically and internationally and revolutionising the cosmetics industry with exceptional reviews of cosmetic ingredients from users all over the world.
