Silicon Oil 1000 cst

Silicon Oil 1000 cst is a medium-viscosity, clear, colorless, and odorless silicone fluid. It is part of the family of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fluids, known for its excellent thermal stability, low surface tension, and lubricating properties. The “350 cst” refers to its viscosity, measured in centistokes (cst), making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and cosmetic applications.

Applications:

1. Cosmetics & Personal Care:
   • Acts as a conditioning agent, providing smoothness and moisture retention in skin care products like lotions, creams, and serums.
