1. For personal care applications:
   • Skin protection
   • Imparts soft, velvety skin feel
   • Spreads easily on both skin and hair
   • De-soaping (prevents foaming during rubout)
2. For industrial applications:
   • Oxidation-, chemical- and weather-resistant
   • Excellent release, dielectric and antifoam properties

• Active ingredient in a variety of automotive, furniture, metal, and specialty polishes
• Ingredient in protective creams, aerosol shave lathers, antiperspirants, and other personal care products
• Foam control for petroleum production and refinery operations
• Other applications including coatings additive, damping fluid, elastomer and plastics lubricant, electrical insulating fluid, mechanical fluid, mold release agent, plastics additive, specialty chemical products ingredient, leather finishing, surface active agent

MultiTech MultiFunctional I is insoluble in water and many organic products. It is highly soluble in organic solvents such as aliphatic and aro-matic hydrocarbons, and the halo-carbon propellants used in aerosols. The fluid is easily emulsified in water with standard emulsifiers and normal emulsification techniques.
 

As An Antifoam

• The starting level of active material in nonaqueous foam control is 10 ppm. In many cases, the optimal usage level may be 1~100ppm. XIAMETER PMX-200 Silicone Fluid is typically prediluted in a hydro-carbon solvent, such as white spirits, toluene, xylene, diesel, naphtha or another low molecular weight petroleum fraction, and added continuously by metering pump.
   

As A Conditioning Additive

• Additive quantities as low as 0.1% may suffice where XIAMETER PMX-200 Silicone Fluid is to be used as a surface treatment or for de-soaping creams and lotions.
• However, 1–10% is needed for applications such as hand creams and lotions to form a more uniform film and effective barrier.

• 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.
