Frequently Asked Questions

What is dimethyl silicone oil (PDMS)?
Dimethyl silicone oil (Polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS, CAS 63148-62-9) is a clear, odorless, non-toxic silicone fluid with outstanding thermal stability, low surface tension and strong water repellency. Moon Technology supplies viscosities from 100cst to 10000cst.
Which viscosity of silicone oil should I choose?
100cst: thin film release and polishing. 350cst: general purpose damping, dielectric and lubrication. 1000cst: heat transfer fluid, personal care and optical coupling. 5000/10000cst: high-damping fluids and plastic-rubber lubrication. Contact Moon Technology for a free viscosity recommendation.
Is dimethyl silicone oil food grade and FDA compliant?
Yes. Food-grade PDMS meets FDA 21 CFR 173.340 (defoaming in food processing) and is REACH registered. Industrial and cosmetic grades also available. COA with purity ≥99% provided with every batch.
What are the main applications of silicone oil?
Heat transfer fluids, hydraulic damping fluids, electrical insulation, personal care (hair and skin), plastic and rubber lubrication, mold release agents, defoamers, polishes and optical coupling media. Moon Technology 201 series covers all these applications.
Is silicone oil soluble in water?
No. Dimethyl silicone oil is hydrophobic and insoluble in water and ethanol. It is miscible with toluene, xylene, hexane and most non-polar solvents. For water-based systems, use an emulsifier or a pre-made silicone emulsion.
What is the price and MOQ of dimethyl silicone oil?
MOQ 800 kg (free 1 kg sample available); 200 kg drums or 1000 kg IBC. All 5 viscosities in stock. 24-hour quote response.
