Performance Characteristics
Silico® MF2010-5 Silicone Fluid maintains stable viscosity and performance over a wide temperature range. It resists thermal degradation and oxidation, making it suitable for both high-temperature and low-temperature applications.
Low Surface Tension & Superior WettingThe naturally low surface tension of PDMS allows for excellent wetting, spreading, and leveling on a variety of substrates, including plastics, elastomers, and metals.
Chemically Inert & Non-ReactiveThis silicone fluid is compatible with most materials and formulations. It does not easily react with chemicals, polymers, or active ingredients, ensuring formulation stability and long service life.
Clear, Odorless & Non-StainingThe fluid is optically clear and non-yellowing, making it ideal for applications where appearance, cleanliness, and sensory performance are critical.
Typical Applications
Silico® MF2010-5 is used as a silicone base fluid or carrier oil in skin care and hair care formulations. It improves spreadability, delivers a smooth, silky feel, and enhances overall sensory performance in creams, lotions, serums, and emulsions.
Lubrication & ReleaseAs a light-duty silicone lubricant, it is suitable for plastics, rubber components, O-rings, and seals. It effectively reduces friction, noise, and wear, while maintaining material compatibility and surface integrity.
Damping & Precision EquipmentSilico® MF2010-5 serves as a stable damping fluid in instruments, gauges, optical devices, and precision mechanical systems, ensuring consistent viscosity and reliable long-term damping performance.
Electronics & Industrial ApplicationsCommonly applied as a dielectric fluid, heat transfer medium, and laboratory reference oil, it offers excellent electrical insulation and thermal stability for sensitive electronic and industrial environments.
