XIAMETER PMX-200 Silicone Fluid 12,500 cSt

Overview

XIAMETER PMX-200 Silicone Fluid 12,500 cSt is a 100% active, 12,500 cSt polydimethylsiloxane polymer (INCI name Dimethicone). Dow lists uses in automotive, furniture and metal and specialty polishes, protective creams, petroleum production and refinery operations, coatings additive, damping fluid, elastomer and plastics lubricant, electrical insulating fluid, mechanical fluid, mold release agent, plastics additive, leather finishing and as a surface active agent. Benefits listed include ease of application, rubout and buffing, enhanced color, reduced surface tension, resistance to fungi and bacteria, thermal stability, being essentially inert, high compressibility, high shearability without breakdown, high gloss intensity, high damping action, low environmental and fire hazard, low reactivity, low surface energy and low vapor pressure. Typical properties from Dow: viscosity 12,500 centistokes, service temperature -40°C to +200°C, silicone-only use temperature below 90°C; ready-to-use for non-aqueous systems and to-be-formulated for aqueous systems.
