Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, also known as D5 and D5, is an organosilicon compound with the formula [(CH3)2SiO]5. It is a colorless and odorless liquid that is slightly volatile.[5]

Use

[edit]

The compound is classified as a cyclomethicone. Such fluids are commonly used in cosmetics, such as deodorants, sunblocks, hair sprays and skin care products. It is becoming more common in hair conditioners, as it makes the hair easier to brush without breakage. It is also used as part of silicone-based personal lubricants. D5 is considered an emollient. In Canada, among the volume used in consumer products approximately 70% were for antiperspirants and 20% for hair care products.[6] 10,000–100,000 tonnes per year of D5 is manufactured and/or imported in the European Economic Area.[7] Atmospheric emissions of D5 in the Northern Hemisphere were estimated to 30,000 tonnes per year.[8]

Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane has also been tried as a dry-cleaning solvent in the early 2000s. It was marketed as a more environmentally friendly solvent than tetrachloroethylene (the most common dry-cleaning solvent worldwide) despite being controlled in the EU for to its persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic characteristics.[9]

Production and polymerization

[edit]

Commercially D5 is produced from dimethyldichlorosilane. Hydrolysis of the dichloride produces a mixture of cyclic dimethylsiloxanes and polydimethylsiloxane. From this mixture, the cyclic siloxanes including D5 can be removed by distillation. In the presence of a strong base such as KOH, the polymer/ring mixture is equilibrated, allowing complete conversion to the more volatile cyclic siloxanes:[10]

[(CH3)2SiO]5n → n [(CH3)2SiO]5

where n is a positive integer. D4 and D5 are also precursors to the polymer. The catalyst is again KOH.

Safety and environmental considerations

[edit]

D5 is nontoxic with an LD50 of >50 g/kg for rats.[10]

The environmental impacts of D5 and D4 have attracted attention because these compounds are pervasive. Cyclic siloxanes have been detected in some species of aquatic life.[11] A scientific review in Canada has determined that “Siloxane D5 does not pose a danger to the environment”[12] and a scientific assessment of D5 by the Australian government stated, "the direct risks to aquatic life from exposure to these chemicals at expected surface water concentrations are not likely to be significant."[13] However, in the European Union, D5 was characterized as a substance of very high concern (SVHC) due to its PBT and vPvB properties and was thus included in the candidate list for authorisation.[14] Since 31 January 2020, D5 cannot be placed on the market in the European Union in wash-off cosmetic products in a concentration equal to or greater than 0.1 % by weight.[15]
