Very low viscosity PDMS — volatile, water-repellent, ideal as a solvent and in cosmetic formulations
SILISIL Silicone Oil 2 cSt is a very low viscosity PDMS — volatile, water-repellent, ideal as a solvent and in cosmetic formulations.
SILISIL Silicone Oils are high-purity linear polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) liquids with a purity of 100%. Their viscosity of 2 cSt defines their application range—from lubrication and release agents to hydraulic functions and specialized care and industrial applications.
2 cSt-PDMS evaporates quickly, leaving an extremely thin, water-repellent layer — the standard choice for quick-dry release agents and cosmetics with a silky feel.

Frequently asked questions about SILISIL Silicone Oil 2 cSt
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
SILISIL Silicone Oil 2 cSt: Very low viscosity PDMS — volatile, water-repellent, ideal as a solvent and in cosmetic formulations. Main applications are dry lubrication with self-evaporation, cosmetics & skincare, and quick-dry release agent.
PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) is a linear silicone fluid that combines high thermal stability, low surface tension, very good dielectric properties, and a wide temperature range. The viscosity (measured in centistokes, cSt) determines the application range—low viscosities are suitable for volatile applications and lubrication, high viscosities for damping and conditioning.
SILISIL silicone oils are soluble in aromatic, aliphatic, and chlorinated solvents (e.g., toluene, xylene, hexane, diesel). They are immiscible with water and alcohols. For anti-foaming applications, highly viscous PDMS are diluted in hydrocarbon solvents and applied using a metering pump.
Store in the unopened original container at room temperature (ideally below 60°C). Avoid contact with eyes. SILISIL Silicone Oils are generally non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless; however, consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), which is available in the "Documents" tab.
The viscosity determines the application. 2 cSt is optimal for: dry lubrication with self-evaporation and similar application profiles.
