LF-201 Dimethyl Silicone Fluid

Silfluo LF-201 is a series of standard-to-high viscosity polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fluids (CAS 63148-62-9), available in precisely controlled viscosity grades from 100 mPa·s to 60,000 mPa·s.

The series is characterized by crystal-clear appearance, odorless and chemically inert nature, exceptionally flat viscosity-temperature profile, outstanding thermal stability (flash point ≥310°C across all grades), excellent dielectric properties, inherent water repellency, and low surface tension.

Grades span the full range from low-viscosity film-forming and surface-treatment applications through high-viscosity mechanical damping and heavy-duty defoaming base applications.

Applications of LF-201 Dimethyl Silicone Fluid


  • Mold Release Agent

    Acts as a highly efficient, non-carbonizing release agent for rubber, plastics, and metal die-casting. Creates a durable, non-stick parting film ensuring clean demolding and reduced defect rates. Recommended grades: LF-201-100 to LF-201-500 for spray application; higher viscosity grades for brush or wipe application.

  • Defoamer and Antifoam Agent

    Extremely low surface tension enables effective foam control at very low addition levels in aqueous and non-aqueous systems. Used in petroleum refining, chemical processing, fermentation, paint manufacturing, and wastewater treatment. Recommended grades: LF-201-200 to LF-201-1000 as defoamer base fluid.

  • Mechanical Damping Fluid

    Flat viscosity-temperature profile and high shear stability make mid-to-high viscosity grades ideal for dashpots, shock absorbers, precision gauges, and hydraulic timers requiring consistent damping performance across temperature extremes. Recommended grades: LF-201-1000 to LF-201-60000.

  • Cosmetics and Personal Care (Dimethicone)

    Functions as a highly effective emollient in hand creams, skin protectants, sunscreens, and hair grooming products. Forms a breathable, non-greasy protective barrier imparting a silky-smooth feel. Recommended grades: LF-201-200 to LF-201-1000 depending on desired skin feel and spreadability.

  • Surface Care and Polishes

    Critical active ingredient in automotive waxes, furniture polishes, and leather care products, providing high gloss, water repellency, and easy rub-out. Recommended grades: LF-201-100 to LF-201-350.

  • Paint and Coating Additive

    Used at micro-dose levels to improve flow, leveling, and mar resistance in industrial coatings while preventing pigment floating and silking. Recommended grades: LF-201-100 to LF-201-350; verify compatibility at target loading in specific formulation.

  • Electrical and Dielectric Fluid

    Excellent dielectric strength and thermal stability suit the LF-201 series as insulating and heat-transfer fluid in specialized electrical transformers and capacitors. Recommended grades: LF-201-500 to LF-201-12500.

  • Industrial Lubricant

    Provides long-lasting, non-reactive lubrication for plastic-to-plastic and plastic-to-metal moving parts in precision mechanisms, reducing friction and wear under continuous service. Recommended grades: LF-201-350 to LF-201-1000.
