Clear, colorless fluid polymer useful as a stationary phase in gas chromatography and as an anti-foaming agent.
Dimethylpolysiloxane has been used:in culturing mouse embryosin preparation of oil-based nano-adjuvant candidatesto reduce the brain movement in the post-cat craniotomy process
Biochem/physiol Actions
Dimethylpolysiloxane is used in protein chromatography and affininty chromatography. Dimethylpolysiloxane was used to determine that postprandial inflammatory response after ingestion of heated oils in obese persons is reduced by the presence of phenol compounds.
Dimethylpolysiloxane is a silicon-based organic polymer, inert and non-toxic. It is applicable in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industry. Dimethylpolysiloxane is excreted unchanged unaltered in the faeces and is non-mutagenic.
