Dimethicone is a colorless, odorless, non-volatile organic silicon compound with excellent heat resistance, electrical insulation and weather resistance. It can be used for a long time at -50β to 200β and shows extremely high stability. Dimethicone is insoluble in water, but miscible with a variety of organic solvents, which makes it widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, electronic and other fields.
In personal care products, dimethicone is widely used as a base liquid or volatile carrier such as antiperspirants and deodorants due to its low surface tension, good dispersibility and non-greasy feeling. In addition, it is also used in industrial cleaning agents, silicone rubber capping agents and other aspects. The unique properties of dimethicone make it play an irreplaceable role in many fields.
