Technical Details & Test Data
- Volatility Profile
- Heat of Vaporization
The heat of vaporization in Table is directly related to the amount of energy which is extracted from the surface of the skin and perceived as cooling as the substance is volatilized. As the volatile siloxanes evaporate they remove very little heat from the skin compared to alcohols or water avoiding this potentially undesirable cooling effect.
- Product Limitations
This product is neither tested nor represented as suitable for medical or pharmaceutical uses.

Storage & Handling
- Storage and Handling
Usable life and storage
When stored at or below 25°C in the original unopened containers this product had a usable life of 36 months form the date of production. BRB will guarantee the usable life of this product until the date indicated on the packaging. BRB CM 50 should be stored at 5°C above its freeze point. If the material does freeze on no account should a naked flame be used to melt the product.
Handling precautions
Care should be taken when handling volatile fluids at temperatures 10 °C below the quoted flash point. As with any combustible material containers should be kept tightly closed and away from heat, sparks, open flames and other sources of ignition. A product safety data sheet should be obtained from your BRB office prior to use.
