Introduction
Que sont les microsphères de silicone PMSQ ?
Peflon Polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ) is a silicone-based polymer widely used in cosmetics and optical applications. In beauty products it provides silky touch, oil absorption and a long-lasting matte finish. In optical materials it acts as a light diffuser — improving brightness and clarity in displays.
The INCI name is Polymethylsilsesquioxane, registered in the personal-care ingredient databases of Cosmetics Info, EWG Skin Deep and the EU CosIng inventory. Peflon supplies the complete PF-9 series — cosmetic-grade (PF-94xx) and light-diffusion-grade (PF-9xx) — manufactured under a traceable, lot-controlled process.

Suggested addition: 0.5% – 2.0% — adjust by substrate, material thickness and surface treatment. See silicone microspheres for LED light diffusion for a full optical-engineering guide.
Selection Guide
How to Choose the Right PMSQ Particle Size
D50 particle size is the single most important parameter for both cosmetic feel and optical performance. Use this table as a starting point — Peflon's technical team can fine-tune the grade after seeing your formulation or substrate.
| D50 µm | Recommended Grade | Best For | Sensory / Optical Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0,8 – 1 | PF-900 | High-transparency LED diffuser, anti-glare film | Highest light transmittance, slight haze |
| 1.5 | PF-901 | LCD backlight diffuser, optical film | Balanced transmittance and diffusion |
| 2 | PF-902 | LED lampshades, light boxes | Strong diffusion, soft glow |
| 3 | PF-903 | Diffusion plates, thick optical resin | High haze, even illumination |
| 4 | PF-904 / PF-9404 | Optical diffuser ou cosmetic primer | Maximum diffusion for optics; subtle blur for cosmetics |
| 5 | PF-905 / PF-9405 | Thick light-diffusion sheets ou face powder | Strong diffusion in optics; silky slip in skincare |
| 6 | PF-9406 | Loose powder, pressed powder | Silky touch, oil-control, blur effect |
| 8 | PF-9408 | Foundation, BB cream, eye shadow | Cushion-soft feel, enhanced coverage |
| 10 | PF-9410 | Body powder, color cosmetics, blur primer | Maximum soft-focus, velvet finish |
Discipline des processus
PMSQ avec approvisionnement contrôlé en matières premières
La performance de PMSQ repose sur la maîtrise des matières premières. Sans matières premières stables, les tests en aval perdent tout leur sens. Peflon gère la production grâce à des spécifications de matières premières définies, réduisant ainsi la variabilité avant même le début de la qualification.
Defined Acceptance Criteria
Defined raw material acceptance criteria — every silane intermediate enters the line only after spec-sheet match.
Reduced Formulation Drift
Reduced formulation drift during scale-up — your lab bench result is what you get at production volume.
Fewer Upstream Re-Tests
Fewer re-tests caused by upstream variation — saves time and reduces wasted formulation cycles.

FAQ
FAQ sur les microsphères de silicone
Quelle est la fonction du PMSQ dans les cosmétiques ?
Le PMSQ apporte un toucher soyeux, absorbe l'excès de sébum et contribue à créer un fini mat longue tenue dans les poudres, les fonds de teint et les soins de la peau.
PMSQ est-il sans danger pour la peau ?
Yes — cosmetic-grade PMSQ is safe, tested for skin compatibility and widely used in powders, foundations and personal-care products. It is listed in the EU CosIng inventory and ranked by EWG Skin Deep as a low-hazard cosmetic ingredient.
Comment PMSQ améliore-t-il la diffusion de la lumière ?
PMSQ offers high transparency and refractive-index stability (1.40 – 1.43), enhancing brightness and clarity in LED and LCD displays as well as optical films. The spherical shape scatters light uniformly while keeping overall transmittance high.
Quelles formes de PMSQ sont disponibles ?
PMSQ is available as fine powder for cosmetics and as resin / powder grades for optical applications — D50 from 0.8 µm up to 10 µm. Peflon's full PF-9 series covers 11 stock grades.
What is the difference between PF-9xx (optical) and PF-94xx (cosmetic) series?
PF-9xx is optimised for optical diffusion (refractive index 1.40 – 1.43, thermal weight loss < 1.5% for plastic-extrusion compatibility). PF-94xx is optimised for cosmetic use (whiteness ≥ 95, pH 6.0 ± 1.0, larger D50 for skin-feel and blur effect). Both share the same PMSQ chemistry but with different particle distribution and surface character.
What is the suggested addition level?
Optical grades (PF-9xx): 0.5% – 2.0% in PC / PMMA / PS / PP resin systems. Cosmetic grades (PF-94xx): 0.5% – 25.0% depending on whether you're adding for skin feel (low %), oil-control (mid %) or as a primary powder filler (high %). Adjust by substrate, target finish and process.
Can I get a free sample to test?
Yes — Peflon ships free 100–500 g samples globally for evaluation. Tell us your application (cosmetic / optical / coatings) and target D50, and we'll dispatch within 3 working days.
