Cyclopentasiloxane

Catalog Number	ACM541026-2
CAS Number	541-02-6
Structure
Description	Cyclopentasiloxane is a silicone-based cyclic compound that is used primarily in personal care and cosmetic products as a conditioning agent, solvent, and lubricant due to its unique properties. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a low viscosity, high volatility, and low surface tension, which makes it easy to spread and evaporate quickly on the skin without leaving an oily residue. Cyclopentasiloxane is also known for its ability to improve the texture, feel, and appearance of skin and hair by forming a protective barrier that helps to lock in moisture and reduce the loss of natural oils. In addition to personal care products, Cyclopentasiloxane is also used in various industrial applications, such as in the formulation of adhesives, sealants, and coatings.
Flash Point	73 °C(163 °C)
Appearance	clear, odorless, and colorless liquid with a low viscosity
Application	Cyclopentasiloxane is primarily used in cosmetic and personal care products due to its emollient and solvent properties This cyclic volatile methylsiloxane serves as a carrier ingredient enabling better application and absorption of formulations on the skin Additionally it plays a crucial role in the manufacture of high molecular weight siloxane polymers which are integral to creating certain silicon-based products Beyond personal care cyclopentasiloxane finds application as a dry cleaning solvent highlighting its versatility Moreover it is utilized as a pharmaceutical secondary standard providing a reliable and cost-effective option for quality control in pharmaceutical laboratories This multifunctional ingredient is indispensable not only for its direct uses but also as an intermediate in producing other valuable industrial products like polydimethylsiloxanes
