Molecular representation of decamethylcyclopentasiloxane,shown as tubes with surrounding wire surface. Atoms are colour-coded: Silicon (blue),oxygen (red),carbon (grey),hydrogen (light grey). This is an organosilicon compound with the formula ((CH3)2SiO)5. It is a colorless and odorless liquid that is slightly volatile. The compound is classified as a cyclomethicone. Such fluids are commonly used in cosmetics,such as deodorants,sunblocks,hair sprays and skin care products. Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane belongs to the functional group of siloxane in organosilicon chemistry with the Si-O-Si linkage. A new application of siloxane is a "second skin" polymer assembled into a network arrangement known as cross-linked polymer layer (XPL). This can be used to protect and control skin properties for medical and cosmetic applications | |
