350CS Dimethicone/Dimethyl Silicone Cosmetic Grade
Dimethyl Silicone Oil: An ingredient with diverse applications
Dimethyl Silicone Oil is an organosilicon compound with a silicon-oxygen bond as its backbone. It exhibits high and low temperature resistance, strong chemical stability, excellent lubricity, and superior insulation properties. It is a very common and widely used silicone-based organic polymer. It is the most basic and commonly used type of silicone oil. Medium viscosity (100-1000 cs) is its "golden range"—neither the excessively fluid and volatile nature of low-viscosity silicone oils (e.g., 10 cs) nor the thick, difficult-to-handle properties of high-viscosity silicone oils (e.g., 10,000 cs). This optimal viscosity allows it to adhere to surfaces for protection while also flexibly adapting to diverse needs. Dimethicone is a synthetic chemical with exceptional performance, versatility, and safety. From our dressing tables to factories, hospitals, and laboratories, it is an indispensable all-rounder in modern industry and everyday life. Its smooth feel, stability, and safety make it a key ingredient in numerous product formulations.

Core Properties of Dimethyl Silicone Oil
Inertness: Gentle on human skin, non-irritating, and non-sensitizing.
Chemical Stability: Resistant to heat, oxidation, and weathering, it exhibits excellent resistance to reaction with other substances.
Wide Viscosity Range: By controlling the length of the polymer chain, products with varying viscosities can be produced, ranging from water-thin (0.65 cSt) to extremely viscous (hundreds of thousands of cSt).
Low Surface Tension: Allows for easy spreading on surfaces, resulting in excellent wettability and hydrophobicity.
High Flash Point, Low Volatility: Stable at high temperatures and non-volatile.
Excellent Electrical Insulation: A good insulating material.
Lubricity: Provides a smooth tactile feel.
Defoaming: Effectively destroys and suppresses foam.
Applications of Dimethyl Silicone Oil
Dimethyl silicone oil, a versatile material, has applications extending from industrial production to various areas of daily life, demonstrating its wide applicability and high functionality.
Mechanical Industry
Due to its stable chemical properties and lubricating properties, dimethyl silicone oil has become an indispensable lubricant for precision instruments and high-temperature equipment. For example, silicone oils with viscosities of 100–350 cs can effectively reduce wear and extend service life in precision components such as watch movements and optical lens focusing mechanisms, while also preventing residue formation. In high-temperature environments, such as in ovens and toasters, silicone oils with viscosities of 500–1000 cs maintain stable performance across a temperature range of -50°C to 200°C, ensuring continuous mechanical operation. Furthermore, this material is suitable for plastic or rubber components such as printer rollers and valve seals, exhibiting excellent compatibility without causing swelling or corrosion.
In the cosmetics industry
Dimethyl silicone oil plays a crucial role by modifying product texture and user experience. Silicone oils with viscosities of 100–350 cs are commonly used in skincare products, forming a breathable protective film on the skin surface, enhancing moisturization and imparting a silky feel. Higher viscosities (500–1000 cs) are often used in moisturizing products, providing a richer texture. In cosmetic formulations, 500cs silicone oil improves the spreadability and adhesion of foundation and lipstick, achieving smooth application and excellent water resistance. Silicone oils with viscosities of 100–300cs in haircare products can effectively smooth frizz, enhance smoothness and shine, and make hair easier to rinse.
Medical applications
Dimethicone is widely used in various settings due to its non-toxicity and biocompatibility. For example, during endoscopic procedures, silicone oils with viscosities of 100–350cs are used as instrument lubricants to reduce mucosal friction and improve patient comfort. In ointments and suppositories, 350cs silicone oil is often used as a drug carrier to regulate release rate and improve spreadability. Furthermore, low-viscosity silicone oils (such as 100cs) can be used as defoaming agents during abdominal or gastrointestinal surgery, helping to eliminate foam and ensure clear vision and safe operation.
In the electronics industry
Dimethicone is primarily used to provide protection and heat dissipation. Electronic components such as circuit boards and capacitors, treated with silicone oils with viscosities of 500–1000 cs, create an insulating barrier that effectively blocks moisture and dust, making them suitable for harsh environments such as outdoor lighting and communications equipment. In heat-generating components like LED lamps and transformers, silicone oils with viscosities of 100–350 cs serve as thermal conductors, aiding heat dissipation and maintaining stability at high temperatures. Furthermore, this material is commonly used in the demolding process during electronic component potting, ensuring complete removal of molded materials with minimal residue.
In the textile and leather processing industries
Dimethyl silicone oil is used as a softening and glossing agent. Silk and synthetic fabrics treated with silicone oils with viscosities of 100–500 cs can achieve enhanced softness and wrinkle resistance. Leather products treated with silicone oils with viscosities of 350–1000 cs can enhance their gloss and abrasion resistance, while also improving their tactile texture.
