Silico® LV-A Low Viscosity A 5 – 20 cst PDMS
The Silico® LV-A Low Viscosity A Series PDMS consists of high-purity polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) silicone oils offered in a range of low to moderate viscosities to meet diverse formulation requirements.
Introduction
Silico® LV-A Low Viscosity Series is composed of high-purity polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fluids, designed to meet the demanding performance standards of modern personal care and cosmetic formulations. This series includes three grades of low-viscosity silicone oils—5 cSt, 10 cSt, and 20 cSt—offering excellent flexibility in formulation development.
With outstanding spreading ability, thermal stability, and skin compatibility, Silico® LV-A silicones are ideal for a wide range of applications, including skincare, haircare, color cosmetics, and sunscreen products. Their lightweight texture and non-greasy finish make them a preferred choice for enhancing product aesthetics and feel.
Whether you’re creating serums, lotions, sprays, or leave-on treatments, the LV-A series delivers the performance, purity, and consistency needed for high-quality personal care products.
