Polydimethylsiloxane Fluids

XIAMETER® Brand Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) Fluids Xiameter Indonesia : Silicone Oil Silicone Fluid Silicone Emulsion

XIAMETER polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fluids are available in a broad range of viscosities and are used in a wide range of applications. Polydimethylsiloxane fluids are known in the beauty and personal care industry by their INCI name, “dimethicone”. Very-low-viscosity (≤ 2 cSt) polydimethylsiloxane fluids are categorized as volatile methylsiloxanes (VMS). In the United States, VMS fluids are exempt from regulation as volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Typical Polydimethylsiloxane

XIAMETER polydimethylsiloxane fluids are linear, siloxane polymers that vary in viscosity from very low to ultrahigh.

From their siloxane backbone, PDMS fluids draw strength, stability and flexibility.
From their attached methyl groups, PDMS fluids gain inertness, lubricity, release properties and water repellency.
