BELSIL® DM 12500

BELSIL® DM 12500 is a linear, non-reactive, unmodified polydimethylsiloxane. It is a dimethicone with a viscosity of 12500 mm²/s. It is characterized by low surface tension and a high spreading coefficient. Due to their flexible polymer backbone, dimethicones have high permeability to gasses such as water vapor and oxygen, allowing the skin to respire.
