Dow 784190-UNI Xiameter® Silicone Fluid, 36.7 lb Pail, Crystal Clear

Xiameter PMX-200 silicone fluid is a high-viscosity polydimethyl-siloxane polymer manufactured to yield essentially linear polymers in a wide range of viscosities. The viscosities generally used in formulating polishes are between 100 and 30000 cSt. To obtain optimum results, in terms of ease of application and depth of gloss, it is preferable to use a blend of a low viscosity fluid and a high-viscosity fluid (e.g. 3 parts Xiameter PMX-200 silicone fluid 100 cSt and 1 part Xiameter PMX-200 silicone fluid 12500 cSt). Ease of buffing, Enhances color. - The low viscosity silicone fluid acts as a lubricant to make polish application and rubout easier, whereas the high-viscosity silicone fluid produces a greater depth of gloss. Since these polymers are inherently water-repellent, they will cause water to bead up on a treated surface rather than penetrate the polish film. Low surface energy.
