    Dimethylsilicone oil, also known as methyl silicone oil, polydimethylsiloxane liquid.It is an odourless, odorless, non-toxic, colorless and transparent viscous liquid.It is soluble in benzene, toluene, xylene, and diethyl ether, partially soluble in ethanol, butanol, and acetone, and insoluble in cyclohexanol, methanol, paraffin oil, and vegetable oil.With excellent hydrophobic moisture resistance, good light transmittance, chemical stability.

 

    The use of dimethyl silicone oil

 

    Dimethylsilicone oil is widely used as insulation, heat and moisture resistant filler, highly effective defoaming agent, release agent, lubricant and surface treatment agent. The industries involved include daily chemical, rubber, plastic, latex and other industries, machinery, automobile, electronic appliances, clothing, leather, pharmaceutical, food and some new material industries.

 

    01, daily chemical industry

 

    Can be used for skin cream, body lotion, shampoo and other cosmetic formulas, with excellent soft effect and silky feel, with moisturizing, skin protection and other functions.

 

    02, plastic industry

 

    Because dimethylsilicone oil is non-stick to rubber, plastic, metal and so on, it is used as a isolating agent, isolating agent and brightener in the production of certain rubber, plastic, latex, polyurethane products and processes, so that the product surface is clean, smooth and transparent.

 

    03, machinery, automotive, electrical appliances and other industries

 

    Machinery, automobile, instruments, electronics and other industries, used as high-grade lubricating oil, liquid spring, cutting fluid, buffer oil, transformer oil, high and low temperature brake oil, instrument shock absorber oil, frame model release agent, etc.It can also be used as a liquid spring and a landing device for aircraft.

 

    04, textile, clothing industry

 

    Used as softener, water repellent, feel modifier, sewing thread lubrication, chemical fiber spinneret lubrication, clothing pressure lining additives, defoaming agent, etc.

 

    05, leather and leather chemical industry

 

    The leather and leather chemical industry adds this product to other additives, which can be used as softener, hydrophobic agent, feel agent, defoamer, brightener, etc.

 

    06, medicine, food

 

    Pharmaceutical, food industry used as antifoaming agent, lubricant, etc.

 

    Dimethylsilicone oil is non-toxic to the human body and is not decomposed by body fluids. It is widely used in medical and health services.It has antifoaming effect and can be made into oral medicine, gastrointestinal flatulence tablets, pulmonary edema anti-foaming aerosol and other medicinal materials.Silicone oil can be added to the ointment to improve the penetration ability of the drug to the skin and the curative effect.Ointments based in part on silicone oil work well for burns, dermatitis, bedsores, etc.

 

    07, paint, ink and other industries

 

    Can be used as paint brightener, add a small amount of silicone oil in the paint, make the paint not float, not wrinkle, improve the brightness of the film.Adding a small amount of silicone oil to the ink can improve the quality of printing, adding a small amount of silicone oil to the polishing oil (such as car polish oil) can increase the whiteness, protect the paint film, and have excellent waterproof effect.

 

    08, new material industry

 

    It is used for other special purposes or co-polymerization with other materials to produce new materials

 

    Note: Contact with high concentration of strong acid or strong alkaline material and Lewis acid is easy to degrade and volatilize, the higher the temperature, the more obvious the reaction.Low concentration of strong acid or base contact with it, or at high temperature for a long time contact, there is a tendency to increase the viscosity until crosslinking.
