| Product Name | Dimethicone 500 |
| CAS | 9006-65-9 |
| Structure |  |
| Description | Dimethicone 500 is a 100% active linear silicone polymer with a viscosity of 500 cps. Linear silicones are large high-molecular polymers (polydimethylsiloxanes) and usually are viscous and more oil-like. |
| Solubility | Insoluble in water, partly soluble in alcohol, dispersible in oils & fats |
| Appearance | Clear, slightly viscous liquid, odorless |
| Application | Hair & skin conditioning products as shampoos, conditioners, creams, lotions, but also color cosmetics (e.g. lipsticks, lip balms, makeup). Skin protectant products. |
| Storage | Store in a closed container at a dry place at room temperature |
| Composition | Dimethicone |
| Features And Benefits | Used for its chemical stability in anti-foams, color cosmetics and hair care productsTakes out the whitening of creams and lotions when rubbed into the skin and gives a non-greasy, dry feelImproves wet and dry combing, gives softness and silky gloss in hair care productsMakes colors more dispersible (solvent) |
| GMO | GMO-free (does not contain plant-derived components) |
| HS Code | 3208100000 |
| INCI | Dimethicone |
| Manufacture | Dimethicone is made from dimethyldichlorosilane which is produced by powdered silicon (silicone dioxide) and methyl chloride. Dimethyldichlorosilane is then hydrolyzed to give a hydrolysate of polysiloxanes. In a polymerization reaction with water the polysiloxanes are then polymerized to linear silicone polymers with different chain length (dimethicones). |
| Preservation | Preservative-free |
| Purity Grade | No purity grade applicable |
| Raw Material Source | Dimethyldichlorosilane and water |
| Uses | Typical use level 1-20% (up to 50% possible), add to oil phase of formulas or at the end of formula. Do not heat over 50°C (125°F). For external use only. |
