Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is an inert, nonflammable and nontoxic silicon based organic polymer. Generally it is referred as dimethicone. Polydimethylsiloxane is optically clear and viscous substance. The properties such as water repellency, low surface tension, low vapor pressure, oxidation resistance, anti-foaming, heat, resistance, heat stability, good dielectric properties and others makes PDMS a very useful substance in various industrial applications. These diverse set of properties of Polydimethylsiloxane are used in medicines, cosmetics, hydraulic fluids, surfactants, anti-foaming agents, coating, domestic products and others.

Global Polydimethylsiloxane Market: Drivers and restraints

The chemical and physical properties of PDMS are highly utilized in various application sectors such as cosmetics and medicines. The growing cosmetic sector which is forecasted to be of U.S. $ 265 Bn. by 2017 is a major contributor to the demand ofpolydimethylsiloxane. Industrial growth of developing economies is expected to raise the demand for PDMS for lubrication, hydraulic fluids, as well as for coating techniques.

On the other hand PDMS is a non-bio degradable material hence proper disposal techniques might yield to rise in cost composition.Polydimethylsiloxane is generally considered to be safe when applied on the surface or skin, but some researcher argue about the hazardous effect it might cause when taken into body. Hence it might affect the consumer mindset if not clarified or researched further
