Introduction:
Cyclomethicone D5 (CST) is a clear, low-viscosity silicone fluid composed primarily of decamethylcyclopentasiloxane. It is known for its excellent volatility, smooth feel, and fast-spreading properties. This silicone is widely used in industrial, cosmetic, and surface treatment applications due to its quick evaporation, thermal stability, and compatibility with a wide range of materials.
 
Applications (Main Points):
Carrier and solvent for silicone-based formulations
Surface treatment agent in coatings, polishes, and mold release products
Lubricant and processing aid in industrial applications
Conditioning and smoothing agent in cosmetic and personal care formulations
Diluent for high-viscosity silicone fluids and resins
 
Benefits:
Excellent spreading and volatility properties
Thermally stable and chemically inert
Non-greasy, fast-drying formulation
Reduces surface friction and enhances smoothness
Compatible with other silicone oils and organic materials
