Dimethicone High Viscosity Oils Element14 PDMS 60K

INCI Name: Dimethicone

Product Description

Element14 PDMS High Viscosity Oils are linear polydimethylsiloxane polymers with kinematic viscosities of 5000, 10000, 12500, 30000, 60000 and 100000 cSt.

Key Features and Typical Benefits

Silicones differ from organic compounds in both their physical and chemical properties.

• High and low temperature stability

• Oxidative stability

• Chemically inert

• Low flammability

• Low surface tension

• Shear stability

• High compressibility

• Low vapor pressure

• Low odor

• Soft, smooth, silky feel

• Non-oily feel

• Spreadability

• Low coefficient of friction

• Lubricious
