• High flash point
• High damping action
• High oxidation resistance
• Low fire hazard
• Low reactivity and vapor pressure
• Low surface energy
• Low pour point
• Good heat stability
• Non-greasy, non-occlusive and non-stinging on skin
• Essentially inert and non-toxic
• Excellent water repellent, release, dielectric and antifoam properties
• Soluble in a wide range of solvents

For industrial applications:

• Effective foam control at low addition levels.

For personal care applications:

• Provides easy combing and detangling for wet or dry hair
• Provides lubricious, smooth feel to the hair
• Adds gloss and softness

• High-viscosity dimethicone fluid.
• Linear polydimethylsiloxane polymers typically have the following typical chemical composition: (CH3)3SiO[SiO(CH3)2]nSi(CH3)3.

As an Antifoam

The starting level of active material recommended is 10 ppm; in many cases, the optimal usage level may be approximately 1 ppm. XIAMETER PMX-200 Silicone Fluid is typically prediluted in a hydrocarbon solvent, such as white spirits, toluene, xylene, diesel, naphtha or another low-molecular-weight petroleum fraction, and added continuously by metering pump.
The viscosity of the XIAMETER PMX-200 Silicone Fluid should be selected to suit the
application, with primary selection criteria including insolubility in the foaming system,
working temperature and ease of handling.

As a Conditioning Additive
For personal care applications, XIAMETER PMX-200 Silicone Fluid should be pre-emulsified to the desired particle size, incorporated into a shampoo base and post-stabilized. Alternatively, it can be directly emulsified into a hair care formulation.

When stored at or below 40°C (104°F) in the original unopened containers, this product has
a usable life of 36 months from the date of production.

• For foam control in petroleum production and refinery operations
• Conditioning agent for hair care products, particularly conditioning shampoos and rinse-off conditioners
