Dimethicone

Dimethicone, also known as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), is a high-purity, linear, non-reactive silicone polymer. It appears as a clear, colorless, odorless, tasteless fluid available in a wide range of viscosities. Dimethicone features a flexible polymer backbone that provides high permeability to gases such as water vapor and oxygen, allowing the skin to breathe naturally. It forms a hydrophobic, protective yet breathable barrier on the skin, imparting softness and emolliency. With excellent spreading properties, low surface tension, chemical stability, and non-greasy feel, dimethicone is one of the most versatile silicone fluids available. It is widely used as a skin-conditioning agent, emollient, texture enhancer, and lubricant in personal care, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications. Our Dimethicone delivers consistent quality and reliable performance for your most demanding formulations.

The main detailed uses of the product

Anti-Skinning Agent in Paints & Coatings

MEKO is primarily used as an efficient anti-skinning agent in various coatings, including alkyd resins, oil-based paints, epoxy esters, and polyurethane formulations. It prevents the formation of a skin on the surface of the paint during storage by inhibiting the surface oxidation of drying oils, thereby reducing waste and maintaining product quality.
Moisturizing Skincare Products

As a premium moisturizing ingredient in serums and masks, it can carry over 1000 times its weight in water, providing long-lasting deep hydration.
Skin Care Moisturizers & Serums

Used as a light, fast-absorbing emollient that restores skin lipid balance without clogging pores or leaving a greasy residue. Ideal for facial creams and serums targeting all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin.
Skin Care Creams & Lotions

Used in leave-on skin care formulations as a moisturizing and film-forming polymer. It enhances skin feel, provides a smooth, silky afterfeel, and helps improve the longevity of other active ingredients on the skin.
