Drilling down (with the help of google)...
What is this compound in Mcdonalds French Fries they speak of?
-Anti-foaming agent added to fry oil. Google says "silly putty, original formula developed during WWII"
What is in silly putty that is also used as a food grade anti-foaming agent?
-Polydimethylsiloxane
What is Polydimethylsiloxane?
-Silicone Oil, also referred to as "PDMS"

I grabs a can of silicone lubricant I happen to have on hand. Noting brand and product name, I look up the MSDS for "WD-40 water resistant silicone lubricant"
Ingredients listed on MSDS:
1. LVP Petroleum Solvent (aka petroleum ether, should boil off between 80-100 degrees Celsius)
2. Polydimethylsiloxane, 1-5% by weight.
3. propane, n butane (propellant, evaporates at room temperature)

LOL, no I'm not going to put WD40 on my head. Can't say I'm not tempted though.
