A temporary discomfort to the eyes may occur due to the hydrophable properties. The oil is approved as a food additive and/or for use in food contact in most countries of the world.

Amongst others main US.FDA regulations concerned are: 173.340 (formexy 121.1099), 175.105 (121.2520), 175.300(121.2514), 167.170 (121.2526), 176.180 (121.2571), 167.200 (121.2557), 176.210 (121.2519), 177.1210 (121.2550), 177.2280 (121.2500), 178.3570 (121.2553), 178.3910 (121.2531), 181.28 (121.2001).

Technical Details & Test Data

Solubility: S= Soluble at all ratio I= Insoluble at all ratio PS= Soluble at certain ratio
Volatility: The heat of vaporization of this product is just 150 kJ/kg and it 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.

Packaging & Availability

Storage & Handling

Storage and Handling: Care should be taken when handling volatile fluids at temperatures 10 °C below the quoted flash point.
