Xiameter PMX-200 fluids

Polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) fluids are water clear “silicone fluids” that are used in a vast number of applications. And Xiameter PMX-200 is the Dow Corning brand name for their standard silicone products.

Available in a very wide rage of viscosities available; from 0,65 to 1,000,000cSt, some of the numerous application possibilities for Xiameter PMX-200 silicone fluids include:

  • Release Material – used alone or as part of a formula
  • Foam Preventative – for many processing operations requiring anti-foam assistance
  • Mechanical Fluid – excellent viscosity temperature characteristics
  • Surface-Active Material – added to vinyl plastisols
  • Lubricant – excellent lubrication for most plastic and elastomeric surfaces
  • Cosmetics/Skin Preparations – important ingredient in hand creams, skin protectants, suntan lotions etc.
  • Polishes and Chemical Specialties – automobile and furniture polishes as well as water repellant films to name a few
  • Electrical/Electronic Equipment – given their excellent dielectric properties Xiameter 200 fluids can be used for both insulating and damping applications
  • Plastic Additive – to improve the processing ability of plastics or to impart surface slip or anti-block

So in essence their properties allow them to be used as base oils, antifoam fluids, water repellant additives and even as release agents given just to name a few their following product features:

  • Essentially odorless and water clear
  • Good dielectric properties over a wide range of temperatures
  • Excellent water repellency
  • Low surface tension
  • Soluble in a wide range of solvents
  • Non-greasy
  • Low order of toxicity
