Description :
Dimethylpolysiloxane, or silicone fluid, is a silicone-based polymer that is very useful in personal care and home care products because it is a great lubricant, conditioner, and anti-foaming agent. It is a clear, odourless, non-greasy liquid available in different thicknesses to meet the needs of various formulations.
Dimethylpolysiloxane is a useful ingredient in personal care products because it makes surfaces easier to slide on, improves skin feel, and gives products a smooth, silky feel. It is often added to lotions, creams, hair conditioners, serums, deodorants, and other cosmetics to make them easier to spread and less sticky.
In home care and industrial cleaning products, Dimethylpolysiloxane functions as an effective antifoaming and defoaming agent, helping control excessive foam in detergents, surface cleaners, and processing systems. It is often used alongside ingredients such as Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Simethicone, and Silicone Emulsions to enhance formulation performance.
