Industrial & Commercial Applications

Dimethylpolysiloxane’s unique surface tension and dielectric properties make it indispensable across multiple sectors:

Automotive & Industrial Lubricants: Used as a high-performance lubricant and mechanical fluid in damping systems and brake fluids due to its low viscosity-temperature change.
Personal Care and Cosmetics. It functions as an emollient, protective for skin when used in sunscreens, lotions and other hair care products. It helps give a smooth matte, non-greasy appearance.
Food & Beverage Industry: Used as a potent anti-foaming agent in the food industry and in fermentation processes to stop overflows and guarantee the consistency of products.
Medical & Pharmaceutical: Utilised for medical devices, and also as an anti-flatulent ingredient in formulations for pharmaceuticals (Simethicone ).
Fabric & Leather Finishing serves as a waterproof finish and softener. It improves the durability and feel of premium leather and textiles.
