Description

Dow XIAMETER™ PMX-200 is a versatile, clear, and odorless polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS/dimethicone) fluid. Available in a wide range of viscosities, it is celebrated for its excellent spreading capabilities, high water repellency, thermal stability, and low surface tension, making it a staple across personal care, industrial, and automotive formulations

Application

  • Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as an emollient in hair and skin care. It imparts a soft, velvety skin feel, spreads easily, and prevents foaming during application. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  • Industrial & Lubrication: Functions as a mold release agent, mechanical/damping fluid, electrical insulating fluid, and lubricant for plastics and elastomers. [1, 2]
  • Polishes & Coatings: Serves as a key active ingredient in automotive, furniture, and metal polishes to enhance color and depth of gloss. [1, 2]

Direction to Use

Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease prior to application.Application Method: Apply a very thin, even layer using a clean cloth, sponge, or spray. Because of its excellent spreadability, a little goes a long way.Buffing (for polishes): If using as a polish or protectant, allow it to briefly set, then buff to a shine with a clean microfiber cloth.Dilution and MixingSolvents: Depending on the grade, it is generally miscible with most organic solvents (like mineral spirits or isoparaffins).Additives: For additive purposes (e.g., in paints or formulations), start with a very low concentration of about 0.1% and adjust upwards as needed.Blending: You can blend two different viscosities of PMX-200 together to achieve a custom thickness
