Description

Viscous, greyish-white, opalescent liquid. The PhEur 6.0 and USP 32 describe simethicone as a mixture of fully methylated linear siloxane polymers containing repeating units of the formula [–(CH3)2SiO–]n, stabilized with trimethylsiloxy endblocking units of the formula [(CH3)3 SiO–], and silicon dioxide. It contains not less than 90.5% and not more than 99.0% of the polydimethylsiloxane [–(CH3)2SiO–]n, and not less than 4.0% and not more than 7.0% of silicon dioxide. The PhEur 6.0 additionally

Practically insoluble in water, very slightly soluble or practically insoluble in anhydrous ethanol, practically insoluble in methanol, partly miscible with ethyl acetate, with methylene chloride, with methyl ethyl ketone and with toluene.

Simethicone is generally regarded as a stable material when stored in the original unopened container. A shelf-life of 18 months from the date of manufacture is typical. However, some simethicone products have a tendency for the silicon dioxide to settle slightly and containers of simethicone should therefore be shaken thoroughly to ensure uniformity of contents before sampling or use. Simethicone should be stored in a cool, dry, location away from oxidizing materials.
