In the dynamic landscape of personal care and industrial manufacturing, IOTA D5 cyclopentasiloxane emerges as a transformative material. Composed of ≥99% decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) and ≥99.7% D5+D6, this colorless transparent liquid redefines performance standards with its exceptional purity and stability.

Physical Properties & Stability

With a kinematic viscosity of 3.9mm²/s at 25℃ and surface tension of 18.3mN/m, the product delivers superior spreadability while maintaining a non-greasy texture. Its vapor pressure of 0.025kPa at 20℃ ensures controlled volatility (0.075g/min at 80℃), balancing application comfort with product longevity. The -40℃ crystallization point enables reliable performance in sub-zero environments.

Cross-Industry Applications

In cosmetics, IOTA D5 acts as an active ingredient carrier, enhancing transdermal delivery in antiperspirants. Hair care formulations benefit from its 37% reduction in wet combing force, while skincare products achieve 40% longer wear time. Industrial applications include precision cleaning of semiconductor components, where its low surface tension removes sub-micron particles effectively.
