Dimethyl silicone oil, with a viscosity of 10 cSt at 25 °C (also known as Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and Dimethylsilicone fluid, with a viscosity of 10 cSt at 25 °C), is utilized as a biochemical reagent.
Dimethyl silicone oil, with a viscosity of 100 cSt at 25 °C (Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), viscosity 100 cSt (25 °C); Dimethylsilicone fluid, viscosity 100 cSt (25 °C)), is utilized as a biochemical reagent.
Decamethyltetrasiloxane, a non-cyclic silicone oligomer, is used in the methylation of mercury(II) salts. It is transformed by a specific microflora. In the natural environment, it is degraded by mechanisms similar to other organic compounds.
Dimethicone 350 is a silicone oil consisting of a mixture of fully methylated linear siloxane polymers end-blocking with trimethylsiloxy units. Commonly used in skin and hair products.
