Medical-grade silicone fluids are widely used in various healthcare applications due to their excellent properties and biocompatibility. These fluids are typically clear, odorless, and inert, making them suitable for a range of medical and pharmaceutical uses. Here are some prominent trusted and widely used medical grade silicone fluids products:
DuPont™ Liveo™ 360 Medical Fluid
Liveo™ 360 Medical Fluid is a transparent and colorless liquid known as polydimethylsiloxane. It is available in five standard viscosities. This hydrophobic lubricant is specifically designed for application in medical devices.
Applications:
- Lubrication and siliconization of metals, glass, rubber, and plastics
- Demolding agent.
Advantages:
- High water repellency (hydrophobicity)
- Excellent stability across a wide temperature range.
- Outstanding lubricating properties.
- Low surface tension.
- Low levels of toxicity and skin sensitization.
- Manufactured in a dedicated healthcare facility.
- Complies with all requirements of the National Formulary (NF) for Dimethicone and the European
- Pharmacopeia (EP) for Dimeticone or Silicone Oil Used as a Lubricant, depending on viscosity.
V40073: 350 CPS SILICONE FLUID
Factor II’s Fluids are pure, transparent, and colorless polydimethylsiloxane liquids. These fluids are specifically designed for lubricating critical medical devices. They can be easily dissolved in various solvents such as aliphatic, aromatic, chlorinated, and oxygenated solvents. Additionally, they are compatible with many pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and medical device preparations at a viscosity of 350 cs.
Advantages
- High purity
- Excellent water repellency
- Chemical inertness
- Low volatility
- Low surface tension
- Low levels of toxicity and skin sensitization
- Resistance to heat and oxidation-induced decomposition
- Good lubricating properties for plastics and rubber
Applications
- Lubrication of plastic or rubber devices and instruments
- Application as an inert protective coating and water-repellent film on the skin
- Creating a hydrophobic surface on glass and ceramic substrate
MicroCare Medical MCC-UCFGG Universal Carrier Fluid
Features
- Delivers a remarkably uniform surface coating, irrespective of surface shape
- Nonflammable
- Exceptionally low surface tension and viscosity improve the spreadability across all surface contours

Liveo™ Q7-9120 Silicone Fluids
The Liveo™ Q7-9120 Silicone Fluids are pure and stable pharmaceutical-grade silicone fluids that find application in various fields.
Topical Use: They are utilized as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients or Pharmaceutical Excipients in topical forms such as creams, lotions, gels, ointments, sprays, or sticks. These fluids enhance both the aesthetics and effectiveness of the products, thereby improving patient compliance. Prototype formulations are accessible, and test data demonstrate functional advantages, including in vitro drug delivery data using model drugs, occlusivity levels, and substantivity profiles.
Oral: They serve as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients for prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) products, medical device antiflatulents, or as excipients in capsule coatings.
Process Aid: They are suitable for bio-fermentation processes.
Regulatory Compliance:
Tested and compliant with the non-parenteral requirements for Dimethicone Monograph as specified by the National Formulary (NF).
Tested and compliant with the European Pharmacopeia requirements for Dimethicone or Silicone Oil used as a Lubricant monograph, depending on viscosity. Certificate of Suitability (CEP) is available.
Meets the standards outlined in the Skin Protectant Drug Products for Over-the-Counter Human Use final Monograph (21 CFR 347.10).
Sourced from an FDA-inspected facility that operates under current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) guidelines for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). Detailed product regulatory information, elemental impurities data, and health summaries are available upon request.
