The chemical force most directly responsible in the given case is hydrophobic interactions.

The hydrophobic interactions illustrate the associations between the hydrophobes, that is, low water-soluble molecules, and water. Hydrophobes are nonpolar molecules and generally exhibit a lengthened chain of carbons, which do not associate with the molecules of water.
