Silicone oil is a type of organic silicon polymer that combines excellent properties such as high and low temperature resistance, hydrophobic insulation, and strong chemical stability. It plays an indispensable role in various industrial production processes, with a wide range of applications and outstanding practicality.
In the rubber and metal processing industry, silicone oil is an ideal release agent and lubricant. When producing rubber and plastic products, evenly coating silicone oil on the surface of the mold can form a smooth isolation film, effectively avoiding adhesion between the product and the mold. This not only greatly reduces the difficulty of demolding and the rate of product damage, but also maintains the surface smoothness of the product, eliminating the need for subsequent polishing processes and improving production efficiency. Silicone oil can be used as a lubricant for stretching and stamping processes in metal processing. Its high temperature resistance can adapt to the high temperature environment during the processing, while reducing the friction loss between metal parts and molds, extending the service life of molds, and ensuring the dimensional accuracy of processed parts.
In the electrical and electronic industry, silicone oil has become a specialized insulating oil for electrical equipment due to its excellent insulation performance and arc resistance. It can be applied to transformers, capacitors, high-voltage switches and other equipment to fill the internal gaps of the equipment, isolate air and moisture, prevent internal components from getting damp and aging, and quickly conduct the heat generated during equipment operation, avoiding local overheating and faults, significantly improving the stability and safety of electrical equipment operation.
In the field of light manufacturing, silicone oil is an efficient defoamer. In papermaking, printing and dyeing, coating production, sewage treatment and other processes, a lot of foam is often produced due to mixing and chemical reaction, which will affect the production process and product quality. Silicone oil defoamer can quickly penetrate into foam film, destroy its surface tension, make foam burst quickly, and will not react with other substances in the system, and will not leave impurities, so as to ensure smooth production process.
In addition, silicone oil also has important applications in the textile and construction industries. The textile industry uses it as a soft finishing agent, resulting in fabrics with a soft and smooth feel, as well as wrinkle resistance and hydrophobic properties; The construction industry uses it as a waterproofing agent, which can be applied to walls and stone surfaces to form a breathable hydrophobic protective film, effectively preventing moisture infiltration and extending the service life of building materials.
In summary, silicone oil, with its diverse performance advantages, has been deeply integrated into multiple sub sectors of industrial production, providing strong support for improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality.
