DuPont Introduces High-Purity Silicone Fluid Liveo™ 360 1000 cSt to Deliver Reliable Solutions for Medical, Electronics,

DuPont announced that its high-performance polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fluid, Liveo™ 360 1000 cSt, continues to provide stable, safe, and highly pure silicone-based fluid solutions for demanding applications across multiple global industries. With excellent thermal stability, low volatility, a wide service temperature range, and biocompatibility aligned with major pharmacopeial standards, this product has become a critical functional ingredient in medical devices, consumer electronics, and personal care formulations.

Liveo™ 360 1000 cSt is a clear, colorless, odorless silicone fluid with a viscosity of 1000 centistokes (cSt). It exhibits high chemical inertness and hydrophobicity, offering superior lubricity, surface-spreading properties, and long-term stability—making it ideal for applications where purity and performance are paramount.

In healthcare, the fluid is widely used as a lubricating coating for catheters, syringe plungers, respiratory masks, and other medical devices. It complies with USP Class VI, ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards, and meets the requirements of EP 3.1.4 and USP <381> for pharmaceutical excipients, enabling safe use in devices intended for short- or long-term human contact.

In electronics manufacturing, Liveo™ 360 1000 cSt serves as a lubricant for precision sensors, miniature motors, and connectors. It reduces friction and wear while maintaining consistent performance under both high-temperature reflow soldering and low-temperature storage conditions. Its low ionic impurity content also minimizes the risk of contamination in sensitive electronic components.

Additionally, in premium personal care products—such as conditioners, sunscreens, and long-wear cosmetics—the silicone fluid enhances sensory attributes, improves spreadability, and boosts water resistance, all while being non-comedogenic and compatible with modern safety and skin-feel expectations.

As global demand grows for high-performance, regulatory-compliant materials, DuPont ensures batch-to-batch consistency and full traceability of Liveo™ 360 1000 cSt through rigorous quality control and a reliable global supply chain—helping customers accelerate development and meet evolving regulatory standards.
