Expert Verdict
As a reactive vinyl siloxane monomer, residual levels in finished products should be minimized. Not intended for direct skin application at high concentrations.. Clear, low-viscosity liquid; the divinyl functionality makes it the key crosslinker in hydrosilylation-cured (platinum-catalyzed) silicone elastomer systems - it is the building block behind many of the crosspolymer ingredients listed above.
