Super Low Viscosity (0.65 Cst - 2 Cst)
Due to their low molecular weight and refractive index values, Low Viscosity Pure Silicone Fluids are widely used in Optics research, LED technologies & Sensor technologies.
Low Viscosity Silicone Fluids are widely used as laboratory bath fluids / heat transfer fluids due to their low viscosity, low pour points, low viscosity change at temperature and high dielectric strength,...See also Low Temperature Silicone Bath Fluids and Low Temperature Silicone Heat Transfer Fluids.
Unlike higher viscosities PDMS Silicone Oils, Super Low Viscosity Silicone Fluids are characterized by their volatility (varying rates of evaporation). Combined with their low surface tensions (high spreadability), and non‐greasy feel, they are used as base fluids, carrying agents and wetting agents in a wide range of personal care products. See also Cosmetic Grade Silicones.
PROPERTIES:
- Low viscosity PDMS Silicone Oils...viscosities close to water
- Low pour points (as low as -100°C)
- Low Temperature Stability
