Chemical infobox

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is the most widely used silicon-based organic polymer, and is particularly known for its unusual rheological (or flow) properties. It is optically clear, and is generally considered to be inert, non-toxic and non-flammable. PDMS has been assigned CAS number 63148-62-9, and is occasionally called dimethicone. It is one of several types of silicone oil.

Chemistry


The chemical formula for PDMS is (CH3)3SiOwhere n is the number of repeating monomer [SiO(CH3)2 units. Industrial synthesis can begin from dimethylchlorosilane and water by the following net reaction:
