Dimethicone- ▸ Damping media and hydraulic stabilizers — insulating and damping in one fluid
- ▸ Durable heat- and shear-resistant lubrication for treadmill belts, O-rings, gaskets and rubber/plastic interfaces
- ▸ Electrical insulating / dielectric fluid
- ▸ Polish and protective-coating ingredient — gloss with a durable film
- ▸ Release agent and leather / textile auxiliary; personal-care conditioning (velvety skin feel)
Mid- and high-viscosity polydimethylsiloxane fluids (>= 5 cSt) are reported as not meeting GHS hazard-classification criteria. The grade-specific SDS governs. A full SDS is supplied with every shipment and on request; hazard status is confirmed against the grade-specific SDS.
Silicone Oil 10,000 cSt is a damping-and-durable-lubrication grade. High viscosity with strong damping action, high compressibility and a low viscosity-temperature coefficient means vibration and shock control with little property change, while its high shear stability gives durable, heat-resistant lubrication of polymer parts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 10,000 cSt silicone fluid used for?
10,000 cSt silicone fluid (dimethicone / PDMS) is a damping and durable-lubrication grade: damping media and hydraulic stabilizers, heat- and shear-resistant lubrication of polymer parts, dielectric duty, polish and protective coatings, and personal-care conditioning. High viscosity resists breakdown from heat and mechanical stress.
Is 10,000 cSt silicone fluid the same as dimethicone or silicone oil?
Yes — silicone fluid, silicone oil, dimethicone and PDMS all refer to the same linear polydimethylsiloxane (CAS 9006-65-9); 10,000 cSt is the viscosity grade. Because it is a polymer rather than a single molecule, properties are reported per grade rather than as one fixed molecular weight.
Is 10,000 cSt silicone oil flammable?
No. At a flash point of ≥ 315 °C (open cup) the 10,000 cSt grade is not classified as flammable, and mid- to high-viscosity PDMS is not otherwise GHS-classified. Only the volatile sub-5 cSt grades (and discrete volatiles like MM) are flammable. A grade-specific SDS ships with every order.
