    Premium Volatile Dimethicone for Professional Cosmetic and Industrial Applications

    Silicone Oil 1.5 cSt is an extremely low-viscosity, colorless, volatile polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fluid with INCI name Dimethicone, a viscosity of 1.5 cSt, and a density of 0.851 g/cm³ at 25°C. The distinguishing feature of this grade is its volatile nature: after application, the fluid evaporates completely without leaving any visible residue or greasy feel. With a flash point of 57°C (closed cup), a melting point of -76°C, and a surface tension of 18.0 dynes/cm, Silicone Oil 1.5 cSt is the most commonly used volatile silicone as a replacement for cyclic siloxanes (D4/D5) in personal care products. The 1.5 cSt grade requires attention to fire prevention when used in enclosed spaces due to its relatively low flash point.

    Key Benefits

    • Volatile without residue: Evaporates completely after application – leaves no greasy or sticky feeling on skin or hair, unlike non-volatile dimethicones.
    • Surface tension 18.0 dynes/cm: Excellent spreadability on skin and hair – even distribution of active ingredients and other cosmetic components.
    • Melting point -76°C: Retains its liquid properties at very low temperatures – stable in all climate conditions.
    • Compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients: Mixes with chlorinated, aromatic, and aliphatic solvents – good basic carrier for active substances.
    • Substitute for cyclic siloxanes D4/D5: Linear PDMS structure without the SVHC classification of D4/D5 – suitable for formulations avoiding cyclomethicones.
    • Dielectric strength 350 volts/mil: Exceptional electrical insulation properties – suitable for electrical and electronic applications.

    Typical Applications

    • Volatile carrier in hair care products such as hairsprays, conditioners, and leave-in treatments
    • Basic component in skin care: cleansing creams, lotions, sunscreens, and bath oils
    • Formulation raw material for antiperspirants and deodorants – ideally suited for the 1.5 cSt grade
    • Substitute for cyclomethicone (D4/D5) in formulations avoiding SVHC substances
    • Industrial: coatings for glass vials and lenses, household products, penetrating oil ingredients, and polish
    • Electrical insulating fluid in precision mechanical and electronic equipment
    ⚠️ Fire Hazard – flash point 57°C: The 1.5 cSt grade has a flash point of 57°C (closed cup). Keep the product away from heat sources, open flames, hot surfaces, and sparks. Do not smoke during use. Ensure good ventilation, especially in enclosed spaces. Store cool at 5–30°C. In case of fire: use carbon dioxide, powder, or alcohol-resistant foam – not water jets.
