Silicone Fluids & Oils

Silica-activated polydimethylsiloxane built for foam control in demanding process streams. It functions as an antifoaming and defoaming agent, used to control foam in pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing processes, as a food-grade antifoaming and anticaking additive (JECFA), and as an antifoaming ingredient in cosmetics.

An alkyl-modified silicone wax that combines silicone slip with the structuring body of a long-chain fatty backbone. It is used in personal-care formulation as an emollient and skin- and hair-conditioning agent and as a structuring wax that adds body and water resistance to anhydrous and…

A film-forming MQ silicone resin that lends body and a durable silicone film to personal-care and surface-care formulations. It functions as a film former and is a CIR-reviewed cosmetic ingredient that appears in personal-care, automotive-care, and home-maintenance products.

Trisiloxane is the unsubstituted parent siloxane — the simplest linear member of the siloxane series, distinct from the fully methylated industrial silicone fluids. Not to be confused with octamethyltrisiloxane (MDM, CAS 107-51-7), which is the fully methylated industrial silicone fluid.

The reactive backbone of platinum-cure silicone rubber, built to crosslink through its terminal vinyl groups. It serves as the base polymer in addition-cure (hydrosilylation) silicone elastomer systems, reacting with hydride crosslinkers under platinum catalysis.
