Applications

FEATURES

• 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
• Volatile carrier
• Compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients

BENEITS

For personal care:
• Soft feel and subtle skin lubricity
• Excellent spreading
• Leaves no residue or buildup
• Transient effect
• Nongreasy feel
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

APPLICATIONS

• 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
