Silicone Fluid

Product Details:

Cyclomethicone is widely used a base fluid in body sprays and room sprays. Cyclomethicone (D5) is a polydimethylcyclosiloxane that is composed of Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (CAS# 541 02 6). The product is clear, tasteless, essentially odorless, non greasy and non stinging. Due to their varying rates of evaporation, low surface tensions (high spreadability), and non greasy feel, Cyclomethicones are used as base fluids, carrying agents and wetting agents in a wide range of personal care products. Cosmetic applications include: room sprays, body sprays, antiperspirants, skin creams, skin lotions, suntan lotions, bath oils, hair care products etc. Cyclomethicone Fluids are California VOC Exempt and will not contribute to ozone depletion and global warming. They are being uses as replacements for Non VOC compliant petroleum bases solvents as both carrying agents as well as for cleaning solvents where low to medium solvency power is desireable Cyclomethicone (D5) have comparable evaporation rates to naptha solvents, odorless mineral spirits (OMS) as well as some of the isoparaffinic solvents. They are compatible with most substates, including metals and plastics. Unlike D4 Cyclomethicone (D5) has a much higher pour point and does not present the freezing concerns that D4 presents.

Properties:

• Clear, colorless, odorless fluid 
• Volatile carrier (100% evaporation at room temperature)
• Leaves no residue or buildup. 
• Cosmetic grad excellent for bases fluids in cosmetic formulations such as body sprays and room sprays. Compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredient, takes greasiness out of cosmetic oils. 
• Low surface tension (high spread ability).
• Low heat of vaporization
• Non stinging fluid
• Excellent lubricity before evaporation.
• Can vary rate of evaporation to adjust residence time on the skin. 
• Imparts a soft silky feel to the skin.
• Miscible with virtually all polydimethylsiloxane fluids and most petroleum based fluids.
• Soluble in most anhydrous alcohols, waxes, oils (except castor), hydrocarbon oils, esters and silicone fluid.
• Insoluble in water.

VOC Status (CARB VOC) Status:
Cyclo 2245 (d5) Cyclomethicone exempt from federal VOC regulations including California (CARB) & South Coast Air Quality. It is finding wide use as a replacement for Petroleum based solvents that do not meet VOC compliancy.

CAS Information:

• Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane CAS# 541 02 6………. > 99%
• Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane CAS# 556 67 2……….<1%

Caution:
Cyclo 2245 Cyclomethicone has a low flash point and appreciable vapor pressure at ambient temperature. Do not expose to heated surfaces or ignition sources.

Product Details:

We supply one of the best quality Silicone Fluid. This fluid has improved heat stability and comprised of polymeric phenyl siloxanes. Fabricated using latest technology and methodologies, our silicone fluid facilitates great thermal stability improving the lubricating properties from metal to plastic and metal to metal surface.

Features:

• Surface activity
• Low pour points
• Chemical and physiological inertness
• Higher resistance to oxidation and gumming
• Wider range of compatibility with organic materials
• Similar to various dimethyl silicone oils
• Same advantages as dimethyl silicone oils

Thermal Stability:

• The major characteristic of our range is that their thermal stability is several times more than Dimethyl Silicone Fluids. Therefore, these products are highly suitable for high-temperature applications. We recommend grades of MP 1 and MP 2 for such severe application requirements.

Lubricating Properties:

• Our range contains greater lubricating properties in compared to Dimethyl Silicone Fluids. Moreover, these products have better compatibility with metallic soaps and various other additives that are used in the formulation of lubricants and greases designed for very high or low-temperature applications.

Solubility:

• These products are highly soluble in a wider range of organic solvents. Moreover, our range can be used for aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and their halogen derivatives, alcohols, linear and cyclic ether, ketones, esters such as amyl alcohol, acetone, butyl alcohol and benzene. In addition to this, our products find application in chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, cyclohexane, dioxane, diethyl ether, dimethylformamide, toluene, trichloroethylene and xylene. These products are soluble in aqueous alcohols and capable of expanding the area of application that was limited due to poor solubility of normal silicone fluids

Compressibility:

• The compressibility property of our range is lower in compared to dimethyl silicone fluids. This facilitates these products to be used in high-temperature hydraulic transmission and in applications, where shear forces are extremely high.

Chemical Resistance:

• These products are insoluble in various substances like concentrated mineral acids, free halogens, anhydrous, homogenates, hydrocarbons and superheated steam. Highly resistant to water, these products are suitable to be used in plastics and other metals.
