Cyclopentasiloxane Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane
- D5
- D5 Silicone
Cyclopentasiloxane supplier for personal-care formulators and industrial silicone buyers in Malaysia. Also called decamethylcyclopentasiloxane or D5, it is a clear, low-viscosity cyclic silicone valued as a volatile carrier with light spreading and a dry sensory finish.
Personal-care, low-residue and high-purity grades can be specified. Buyers commonly control D5 content, the profile of other cyclic siloxanes, colour, odour and non-volatile residue according to the finished formulation or process requirement.
Cyclopentasiloxane is used in antiperspirants, skin care, hair serums and colour cosmetics, and it can serve as a carrier or intermediate in specialised silicone processing. It is distinct from non-volatile silicone oil, which remains on the surface and delivers a different feel and lubrication profile.
Send the required grade, cyclic profile, application, quantity and delivery location. Availability, liquid packing and documentation are confirmed for the quoted cyclopentasiloxane specification.

Cyclopentasiloxane grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Personal-care cyclopentasiloxane | clear volatile liquid | — | Carrier and sensory modifier in skin care, hair care, colour cosmetics and antiperspirant formulations requiring light spreading and dry after-feel. | Liquid pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Low-residue D5 silicone | clear low-viscosity liquid | Volatile profile and non-volatile residue confirmed against the specification | Formulations where evaporation profile, residue and compatibility with oils, waxes or silicone polymers are closely controlled. | Liquid packing is confirmed for the selected low-residue grade. |
| High-purity cyclopentasiloxane | clear colourless liquid | D5 content and cyclic siloxane profile confirmed as specified | Silicone synthesis, process development and specialised industrial use that requires a tighter cyclic-siloxane composition. | Pack format is confirmed for the quoted purity and quantity. |

Common questions about cyclopentasiloxane
What is cyclopentasiloxane used for in personal care?
It is used as a volatile carrier that spreads easily and then evaporates, leaving a lighter and less greasy feel. Common formulation routes include antiperspirants, skin products, hair serums and colour cosmetics.
Are cyclopentasiloxane and D5 the same material?
Yes. D5 is the common shorthand for decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, the cyclic silicone covered by this page. The requested specification should still state D5 purity and limits for other cyclic siloxanes.
Is cyclopentasiloxane the same as silicone oil?
No. Cyclopentasiloxane is a volatile cyclic silicone, while silicone oil usually refers to a non-volatile linear fluid such as polydimethylsiloxane. They provide different evaporation, slip and residue profiles.
Which grade should a formulator request?
Personal-care grade suits routine formulation work, low-residue selections target tighter sensory or residue controls, and high-purity material serves controlled synthesis or specialised processing. Send the finished product use.
What details are needed for a cyclopentasiloxane quotation?
Provide the target D5 content, cyclic profile, colour, odour and residue limits, application, quantity, preferred liquid pack and delivery point. Available documents and packing are confirmed with the quotation.
