Dear Patrick,
the silicone oil you're looking for is
very likely octamethyltrisiloxane (trade name BRB Silicone
Oil 1 cSt):
You can get it from Hampton Research:
https://hamptonresearch.com/product-Paraffin-Silicon-Oil-352.html
or from Sigma:
https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/product/aldrich/235709
Happy batch crystallization!

Hi All
Does anyone know where you can buy
Silicone Oil Dow Corning 200/1cS
nowadays?
This is the silicone oil that can be mixed with regular paraffin oil to speed up evaporation in microbatch-under-oil experiments, ref below. The 1cS refers to the viscosity.
We used to get this from BDH, in quite large batches, but that product is no longer available.
Thx Patrick
