- A base fluid in a number of personal care products, with excellent spreading, easy rub-out and lubrication properties and unique volatility characteristics.
- Antiperspirants, deodorants, hair sprays, cleansing creams, skin creams, lotions, bath oils, suntan and shaving products, make-up, and nail polishes.
- Can also be used as an additive to powder make-up, colognes and pre-shaves.
- In sticks, it has the right balance between volatility and spreading.
- Usage
XIAMETER™ PMX-0345 Cyclosiloxane Blend may be used alone or blended with other cosmetic fluids to provide a fluid base for a variety of cosmetic ingredients.
It features good solubility in most anhydrous alcohols and in many cosmetic solvents. XIAMETER™ PMX-0345 Cyclosiloxane Blend is a volatile fluid with appreciable vapor pressure at ambient temperature.
Figure gives typical vapor pressure vs temperature data for fluids along with those for water and ethanol. The data given should be helpful in determining volatility range and in calculating the partial pressure of the silicone in a formulated system.
Vapor pressure vs temperature of volatile Silicone fluids (and several common fluids).
Note that the pentamer component (D5) evaporates at a faster rate than the hexamer component (D6).
By using blends of cyclomethicones this difference in volatility can be used to vary the residence time of the silicone on the skin.
Unlike other volatile carriers used in the personal care industry, volatile silicone fluids do not cool the skin when they evaporate. This is a consequence of their unusually low heat of vaporization.
