Silicone oil has the following 4 properties:

1. Silicone oil is generally a colorless or light yellow, odorless, non-toxic, non-volatile liquid.

2. Silicone oil is insoluble in water, methanol, glycol and -ethoxyethanol, miscible with benzene, dimethyl ether, methyl ethyl ketone, carbon tetrachloride or kerosene, slightly soluble in acetone, dioxane, ethanol and Butanol. It has a small vapor pressure, high flash point and fire point, and low freezing point.

3. As the number of chain segments n increases, the molecular weight increases and the viscosity also increases. Therefore, silicone oil can have various viscosities, from 0.65 centistokes to millions of centistokes.

4. Silicone oil has excellent heat resistance, electrical insulation, weather resistance, hydrophobicity, physiological inertness and small surface tension. In addition, it also has low viscosity-temperature coefficient, high compression resistance, and some varieties also have Radiation resistance.
