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.

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.
