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 1-5%. Add to oil phase of formulas but do not heat over 50°C/125°F. Can also be mixed into emulsions after the temperature dropped to 50°C/125°F. For external use only. |
