XIAMETER™ PMX-200 SILICONE FLUID 1.5 CST
INCI: Dimethicone
Overview
XIAMETERTM PMX-200 Silicone Fluid is a polydimethylsiloxane fluid commonly used as a base fluid in personal care products due to its excellent spreading and unique volatility characteristics. It is clear, tasteless, essentially odorless and non-greasy. Unlike other volatile carriers used in the personal care industry, this volatile silicone fluid does not cool the skin when it evaporates, a consequence of its unusually low heat of vaporization.
