Silicon Oil 350 cst

Silicon Oil 350 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.
