Polymethylhydrosiloxane

Description :

Overview of Polymethylhydrosiloxane

Polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) is a clear, colorless to pale liquid silicone polymer. It is often used to reduce the amount of ash or surface altering agent, as well as an ingredient in silicone-based products. PMHS is a sought-after ingredient in the rubber and plastic industries because of its durability, flexibility and compatibility with various polymers.

For those without a technical background, Polymethylhydrosiloxane works as an additive that helps boost chemical resistance, lubrication, and water-repellent properties in polymers, resins, and elastomers.
