D4 Cyclomethicone Fluid : Guide
D4 Cyclo-2244 Cyclomethicone is a volatile polydimethylcyclosiloxane that is composed mainly of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (CAS#556-67-2). 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.
Cyclomethicone Fluids are exempt from Federal VOC regulations, including California VOC Regulations (CARB) and OTC. They do not contribute to ozone-depletion and global warming, and are being widely accepted as replacements for Non-VOC compliant 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. They are compatible with most substates, including metals and plastics.
