Use: Cyclo-2245 (D5) Cyclomethicone is a volatile polydimethylcyclosiloxane that is composed of Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (CAS#541-02-6). The product is clear, tasteless, essentially odorless, non-greasy and non-stinging.

Due to their volatility (varying rates of evaporation), low surface tensions (high Spreadability), and non-greasy feel, Cyclomethicones are used as base fluids, carrying agents and wetting agents in a wide range of personal care products. Cosmetic applications include: room sprays, body sprays, antiperspirants, skin creams, skin lotions, suntan lotions, bath oils, hair care products etc. see also Cosmetic Grade Silicones

Cyclomethicone Fluids are exempt from Federal VOC regulations (including CARB and OTC) and will not contribute to ozone-depletion and global warming. They are being widely accepted as replacements for non-VOC complaint petroleum-bases solvents as both carrying agents as well as for cleaning solvents. Cyclo-2245 is especially effective for applications where low to medium solvency power is desireable. As carrying agents, Cyclo-2244 and Cyclo-2245 have comparable evaporation rates to naptha solvents, odorless mineral spirits (OMS) as well as some of the isoparaffinic solvents. They are compatible with most substates, including metals and plastics.

In addition, D5 Cyclomethicone is being used as a Federal VOC Exempt cleaning agent in dry cleaning applications. It serves to act as a carrying agent for the detergent and will not degrade the fabric or colors of the linens and clothing like other stronger solvents.

Unlike D4 Cyclomethicone (Cyclo-2244), Cyclo-2245 (D5) has a much higher pour point and does not present the freezing concerns that D4 presents.

Use: Cyclo-2345 (D5/D6) is a volatile polydimethylcyclosiloxane (Cyclomethicone) that is composed of approximately 75% Cyclopentasiloxane (CAS #541-02-6) and approximately 25%of Dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane (CAS# 540-97-630 ). The fluid is clear, tasteless, essentially odorless, non-greasy and non-stinging.

Due to their volatility (varying rates of evaporation), low surface tensions (high Spreadability), and non-greasy feel, Cyclomethicones are used as base fluids, carrying agents and wetting agents in a wide range of personal care products. Cosmetic applications include: room sprays, body sprays, antiperspirants, skin creams, skin lotions, suntan lotions, bath oils, hair care products etc. ….see also Cosmetic Grade Silicones

Cyclomethicone Fluids are exempt from Federal VOC regulation-s including California (CARB) and OTV VOC regulations. They do not contribute to ozone-depletion and global warming, and are being widely accepted as replacements for Non-VOC petroleum-based solvents. As carrying agents, Cyclo-2244 and Cyclo-2245 have comparable evaporation rates to naptha solvents, odorless mineral spirits (OMS) as well as some of the isoparaffinic solvents. Cyclo-2345 can be an alternative if a slower evaporation rate is desirable. Cyclomethicones are compatible with most substates, including metals and plastics.
