Silicone Fluid
Silicone oil BI-201 is manufactured to yield essentially linear polymers in a wide range of average kinematic viscosities.
It is highly soluble in organic solvents such as aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, and the halocarbon propellants used in aerosols. The fluid is easily emulsified in water with standard emulsifiers and normal emulsification techniques. But it is insoluble in water and many organic products.
