PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide: a powder treating agent that gives a powder with small cohesive property and excellent dispersibility and temporal stability a treated powder that is treated by the powder treating agent and a powder dispersion in oil in which the treated powder is dispersed to an oil agent.SOLUTION: The powder treating agent includes a glycerol group-containing organopolysiloxane in which a glycerol group-containing substituent shown by general formula (1) bonds to at least one of silicon atoms of an organopolysiloxane segment that composes a main chain. In the general formula (1), X and Y each independently a 1-10C divalent hydrocarbon group m denotes an integer of 0-4 and Z denotes an organic group shown by general formula (2). In the general formula (2), Ra denotes a 2-12C divalent hydrocarbon group and m denotes an integer of 1-5.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】凝集性が少なく、分散性及び経時安定性に優れた粉体を与える粉体処理剤、該粉体処理剤で処理された処理粉体、該処理粉体を油剤に分散してなる油中粉体分散物を提供する。【解決手段】主鎖を構成するオルガノポリシロキサンセグメントのケイ素原子の少なくとも一つに、下記一般式(1)で表されるグリセロール基含有置換基が結合してなるグリセロール基含有オルガノポリシロキサンを含むものであることを特徴とする粉体処理剤。(上記一般式(1)中、Zは下記一般式(2)で表される有機基を示す。)【選択図】図1
