What are the main uses of silicone oil and in which fields?

News

Silicone oil is generally a colorless (or light yellow), odorless, non-toxic, and non volatile liquid. Silicone oil is insoluble in water and has high compatibility with many components in cosmetics to reduce the sticky feeling of the product. It is used as a cosolvent and solid powder dispersant for refreshing creams, lotion, facial cleansers, make-up water, color cosmetics, and perfume

silicone oil
Usage: It has various viscosities, including heat resistance, water resistance, electrical insulation, and low surface tension. It is commonly used as advanced lubricating oil, anti demand oil, insulating oil, defoamer, release agent, polishing agent, and vacuum diffusion pump oil.
Silicone oil, English name: Silicone oil, CAS number: 63148-62-9, Molecular formula: C6H18OSi2, molecular weight: 162.37932, is a kind of polyorganosiloxane with chain structure with different degrees of polymerization. It is prepared by hydrolysis of Dimethylsilane with water to obtain a primary polycondensation ring. The ring is cracked, rectified to obtain a low ring, and then the ring, capping agent, and catalyst are put together to obtain various mixtures with different degrees of polymerization, Silicon oil can be obtained by removing low boiling substances through vacuum distillation.
Silicone oil has heat resistance, electrical insulation, weather resistance, hydrophobicity, physiological inertia and small surface tension. In addition, it has low viscosity temperature coefficient, Compressibility resistance, and some varieties also have radiation resistance.
Silicone oil has many properties, such as oxidation resistance, high flash point, low volatility, non corrosive to metals, and non-toxic.
The main uses of silicone oil
Commonly used as advanced lubricating oil, shockproof oil, insulation oil, defoamer, release agent, polishing agent, and vacuum diffusion pump oil, among various silicone oils, methyl silicone oil is widely used and is a variety of silicone oil, followed by methyl silicone oil. In addition, there are silicone oil, methyl silicone oil, nitrile containing silicone oil, etc
Application Fields of Silicone Oil
Silicone oil has a wide range of applications, not only as a special material in aviation, technology, and military technology departments, but also in various sectors of the national economy. Its application scope has expanded to: construction, electronics and electrical, textiles, automobiles, machinery, leather and paper, chemical light industry, metals and paints, medicine and medical treatment, and so on.
The main applications of silicone oil and its derivatives are: film remover, shock absorber oil, dielectric oil, hydraulic oil, heat transfer oil, diffusion pump oil, defoamer, lubricant, hydrophobic agent, paint additive, polishing agent, cosmetics and daily Household goods additive, surfactant, particle and fiber conditioner, silicone grease, flocculant.
As an emerging industry, silicone oil is used as antirust oil, steel grating belt conveyor, ultrasonic Level sensor, art coating, fuel oil and gas boiler. Silicon oil is widely used as defoamer, lubricant, release agent, etc. The silicone oil market is gradually moving towards a trend of stabilization and expansion
