Dimethicone- ▸ Antifoam / foam-control base oil — the base material for silicone antifoam compounds, incl. food-grade and refinery foam control
- ▸ Tenacious lubricant / release agent for O-rings, gaskets, valves, seals and food-grade freezer chain & cable
- ▸ Polish and coatings additive — blended across viscosities to tune application ease and depth of gloss
- ▸ Electrical insulating / dielectric fluid
- ▸ Personal-care conditioning for skin and hair serums — slip, shine and long-lasting protection
Mid- and high-viscosity polydimethylsiloxane fluids (>= 5 cSt) are reported as not meeting GHS hazard-classification criteria. The grade-specific SDS governs. A full SDS is supplied with every shipment and on request; hazard status is confirmed against the grade-specific SDS.
Silicone Oil 1,000 cSt is the classic antifoam-concentrate base oil: high enough for a tenacious, persistent film yet still able to disperse and emulsify. It is the base material for silicone antifoam compounds and a tenacious release/lubricant for seals, valves and chain, plus a polish and coatings additive, a dielectric fluid and a personal-care conditioner.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is silicone oil 1000 cSt used for?
Silicone Oil 1,000 cSt is a heavier-viscosity PDMS (dimethicone) fluid used in lubrication, damping, release, polish, and formulation applications where more body and film thickness are needed than thinner grades provide. Match the viscosity grade to your specific application.
What is cSt in silicone oil?
cSt is centistokes, the unit of kinematic viscosity. For silicone oil (PDMS, CAS 9006-65-9) it indicates fluid thickness; 1,000 cSt is a comparatively heavy grade, far thicker than the 10-100 cSt fluids.
What is 1000 cSt oil?
1,000 cSt refers to the kinematic viscosity grade, meaning the fluid measures 1,000 centistokes. For dimethicone (CAS 9006-65-9) this is a heavy, slow-flowing silicone oil; confirm the exact value and reference temperature on the lot CoA.
What is the CAS number for silicone oil 1000 cSt?
Silicone oil (dimethicone, PDMS) carries CAS 9006-65-9 with repeating-unit formula (C2H6OSi)n. The 1,000 cSt designation is the viscosity grade, not a separate CAS; all dimethicone viscosity grades share this number.
Can silicone oil 1000 cSt be supplied in bulk?
Yes. RawSource supplies 1,000 cSt silicone oil in drum, tote, and IBC quantities to manufacturers. Request a bulk quote with your target volume and packaging; CoA and SDS are available on request.
