Poly(dimethylsiloxane) CAS#9016-00-6

Poly(dimethylsiloxane), often abbreviated as PDMS, is a type of silicone polymer known for its thermal stability, biocompatibility, and non-stick properties. It is a clear, flexible material that is both hydrophobic and oxygen permeable. PDMS is widely used in various industries, including medical devices, where it’s used for its biocompatible properties, and in the manufacturing of seals, gaskets, and cookware coatings due to its resistance to extreme temperatures and non-stick surface. Its versatility makes PDMS a popular choice for applications requiring flexibility, durability, and resistance to environmental factors.
