Dimeticone BP
Abstract:
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) belongs to a group of polymeric organosilicon compounds that are commonly referred to as silicones. PDMS is optically clear, and, in general, inert, non-toxic, and non-flammable. It is also called dimethylpolysiloxane or dimethicone and is one of several types of silicone oil (polymerized siloxane).
Uses/Applications:
It is also present in shampoos (as dimethicone makes hair shiny and slippery).PDMS compounds such as amodimethicone, are effective conditioners when formulated to consist of small particles and be soluble in water or alcohol/act as surfactants(especially for damaged hair), and are even more conditioning to the hair than common dimethicone and/or dimethicone copolyols. Activated dimethicone, a mixture of polydimethylsiloxanes and silicon dioxide (sometimes called simethicone), is often used in over-the-counter drugs as an antifoaming agentand carminative. It has also been at least proposed for use in contact lenses. PDMS is added to many cooking oils (as an antifoaming agent) to prevent oil splatter during the cooking process. As a result of this, PDMS can be found in trace quantities in many fast food items such as Nuggets, milkshakes and smoothies.
