XIAMETER(TM) PMX-200 Silicone Fluid 5 cSt

• Polydimethylsiloxane fluid
• Chemical composition (CH₃)₃SiO[SiO(CH₃)₂]nSi(CH₃)₃

• Good dielectric properties
• High water repellency
• High shearability without breakdown
• High compressibility
• High spreadability
• Low surface tension
• Low fire hazard and reactivity
• Low vapor pressure
• Good heat stability
• Good leveling and easy rubout
• Essentially odorless and nontoxic
• Soluble in a wide range of solvents
• Non volatile carrier

1. For personal care:
   • Soft feel and subtle skin lubricity
   • Excellent spreading
   • Leaves no residue or buildup
   • Non-greasy feel
      
2. For industrial applications:
   • Little change in physical properties over a wide temperature span – a relatively flat viscosity-temperature slope, and serviceability from -40°C up to 200°C
   • Low surface tension – readily wets clean surfaces to impart water repellency and release characteristics

• Personal care products such as antiperspirants, deodorants, hair sprays, cleansing creams, skin creams, lotions, bath oils, suntan products, nail polishes
• Industrial applications such as glass vial and lens coatings, household product ingredients, mechanical fluids, penetrating oil ingredients, surface active agents, coatings, electrical insulating fluids and polish ingredients

XIAMETER PMX-200 Silicone Fluid may be used alone or blended with other cosmetic fluids to provide a fluid base for a variety of cosmetic ingredients. It feature good solubility in most anhydrous alcohols and in many solvents used in cosmetics.

• ¹ The melt point temperature is a typical value and may vary somewhat due to molecular distribution (especially 50 cSt or less). If the melting point is critical to your application, then several lots should be thoroughly evaluated.
• ² Due to different rates of cooling, this test method may yield pour points lower than the temperature at which these fluids would melt.
• ³ Fedors Method: R.F. Fedors, Polymer Engineering and Science, Feb. 1974.
