Dimethicone CAS 9006-65-9

What is Dimethicone CAS 9006-65-9?

Dimethicone CAS 9006-65-9 is a polydimethylsiloxane polymer made up of fully methylated siloxane chains terminated with trimethylsiloxy groups. It is widely used for its excellent thermal stability, low surface tension, and inertness, making it an ideal ingredient to impart slip, lubricity, skin conditioning, and antifoam performance in formulations ranging from personal care to industrial lubricants.

Specification

Feature

• Excellent Antifoaming Performance: Helps reduce foam in emulsions, cleansers, and processing systems.
• Skin Protecting & Conditioning: Provides a smooth, lubricious feel, forming a protective barrier on skin surfaces.
• Low Surface Tension & Hydrophobicity: Enhances spreadability and water repellency in formulations.
• Chemical Inertness: Resistant to heat and many chemicals, contributing to long-term stability.
• Broad Compatibility: Works with organic solvents and polymers, and is miscible with many formulation carriers.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used in lotions, creams, serums, shampoos, and antiperspirants to improve texture, slip, and skin feel.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Functions as a protective coating, lubricant, or antifoam in topical and oral preparations.
• Industrial & Processing Fluids: Applied in defoamers, lubricants, mold release agents, and surface treatments.
• Household Products: Included in cleaning products, polishes, and water-repellent formulations.
• Advanced Materials: Used in silicone elastomers, sealants, and conditioning fluids where stable performance is required.
