Product Information
Decamethyltetrasiloxane, also known as L4, is a linear methylsiloxane with a low-viscosity, silicone-fluid profile. It is used as an ingredient or intermediate in the preparation of silicone oils, polymers and personal care formulations. Its volatility, smooth spreading and silicone compatibility make it useful as a carrier, formulation aid and process intermediate.
Typical Applications
- Ingredient or intermediate for personal care products, silicone fluids and silicone polymers.
- Component for silicone oils or fluids designed for demanding temperature and processing conditions.
- Silicone carrier, solvent or formulation aid for coatings, polishes and specialty formulations.
- Intermediate for PDMS and related organosilicon materials.
Supply & Documentation
Available documentation may include COA, MSDS/SDS, TDS and customized export documents according to customer requirements. Packaging, purity and specification can be confirmed based on actual order grade.
