Properties and uses of silicone oil
Time : 2024-04-03
Silicone fluids usually refer to linear polysiloxane products that remain liquid at room temperature. They are generally divided into two categories: methyl silicone oil and modified silicone oil. The most commonly used silicone oil - methyl silicone oil, also known as common silicone oil, its organic groups are all methyl, methyl silicone oil has good chemical stability, insulation, good hydrophobic properties. It is hydrolysed by dimethyl dichlorosilane plus water to produce the initial condensation of the ring body, the ring body by cracking, distillation to produce a low ring body, and then the ring body, capping agent, catalysts on the polymerisation together can be obtained in a variety of different degrees of polymerisation of the mixture, by distillation under reduced pressure to remove the low-boiling material can be produced silicone oil.


I. Properties of silicone oil

Silicone oil is a kind of inorganic polymer compound linked by silicone-oxygen bond, the molecular formula is SiO2. it has the following properties:

1. It has excellent abrasion resistance and heat resistance, can withstand high temperature and pressure, and can be stable for a long time at room temperature.

2. Highly resistant to oxidation, not easy to chemical reaction with air and water, so it has the property of long-term stability.

3. Silicone oil has stable physical properties, not easy to degrade, acid, alkali and solvent resistant, not easy to deteriorate and degradation.

Second, the use of silica gel oil

1. Industrial field

Silicone oil is widely used in industrial production. It can be used as lubricant, insulating oil, diffusion pump oil, high-temperature thermal oil, industrial conditioning oil, etc.; it can also be used as processing silicone adhesives, additives, sealants, etc.

2. Daily life

Silicone oil can also be used in daily life. Silicone oil can be waterproof, moisture-proof, anti-static, and can be used in a variety of mechanical equipment and electronic products, such as watches, computers, mobile phones, cars and machines.

3. Medical field

Silicone oil can also be used in the medical field, such as as a lubricant to enhance sliding in surgery, as a drug carrier and other uses.

In short, silicone oil, as a multifunctional compound, has a wide range of applications in industry, daily life and medical fields.
