Silsoft™ One Fluid
Typical Physical Properties
- Silicone Content: 100%
- Viscosity (at 25°C): 3000 – 12000 mPas

Product Description
Silsoft One Fluid is a blend of:
- High molecular weight dimethiconol silicone polymer
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Silicone elastomer
- Caprylyl methicone
Cyclopentasiloxane and caprylyl methicone act as volatile carriers, helping spread the silicone and elastomer evenly across a surface. After application, they evaporate, leaving a thin, uniform silicone film.
This provides a smooth, non-greasy skin feel, making it highly suitable for personal care formulations.
