XIAMETER(TM) PMX-0246 Cyclohexasiloxane is a blend of volatile polydimethylcyclosiloxane composed of cyclopentasiloxane and cyclohexasiloxane. This product is clear, tasteless, essentially odorless, non-greasy, and non-stinging. It is a low-viscosity cyclohexasiloxane fluid for use in skincare, suncare, color cosmetics, hair care, and antiperspirant/deodorant applications.

XIAMETER(TM) PMX-200 Silicone Fluid 12,500 cSt is a high-viscosity polydimethylsiloxane polymer manufactured to yield essentially linear polymers in a wide range of viscosities. The viscosities generally used in formulating polishes are in the range of 100 to 30,000 cSt. It is preferable to use a blend of a low-viscosity fluid and a high-viscosity fluid (e.g. 3 parts XIAMETER(TM) PMX- 200 Silicone Fluid 100 cSt and 1 part XIAMETER(TM) PMX-200 Silicone Fluid 12,500 cSt) to obtain optimum results in terms of ease of application and depth of gloss. The low-viscosity silicone fluid acts as a lubricant to make polish application and rubout easier, whereas the high-viscosity silicone fluid produces a greater depth of gloss. Since these polymers are inherently water-repellent, they will cause water to bead up on a treated surface rather than penetrate the polish film.

XIAMETER(TM) OFX-0193 Fluid is a silicone polyether copolymer with a HLB value of 12, as calculated using the wt% of the EO/5 method. This graft-style, hydrolytically stable silicone polyether surfactant has applications in hair sprays and other leave-in hair products, shampoos, skin care lotions, and shaving soaps.
