Dimethicone belongs to a group of polymeric organosilicon compounds that are commonly referred to as silicones.[1] PDMS is the most widely used silicon-based organic polymer, and is particularly known for its unusual rheological (or flow) properties. PDMS is optically clear, and, in general, inert, non-toxic, and non-flammable. It is also called dimethicone and is one of several types of silicone oil (polymerized siloxane).

Application
Surfactants and antifoaming agents
common surfactant and is a component of defoamers, which are used to suppress the formation of foams
Hydraulic fluids and related applications
Dimethicone is also the active silicone fluid in automotive viscous limited slip differentials and couplings.
Medicine and cosmetics
Activated dimethicone, a mixture of polydimethylsiloxanes and silicon dioxide (sometimes called simethicone), is often used in over-the-counter drugs as an antifoaming agent and carminative.[16][17] It has also been at least proposed for use in contact lenses.
FoodsPDMS is added to many cooking oils (as an antifoaming agent) to prevent oil splatter during the cooking process. As a result of this, PDMS can be found in trace quantities in many fast food items such as McDonald's Chicken McNuggets and French fries,and Wendy's French fries.
