Water-soluble silicone oil is a product commonly used in industrial production. Since there are many manufacturers of this product, and the technical level and scale of each manufacturer are different, the quality of the product is also uneven. In order to facilitate users to choose and buy, the editor introduces the following tips for testing its quality, let's take a look!
1. Oil flow test method. Take two measuring cups, one of which contains water-soluble silicone oil and silicone oil emulsion that needs to be tested, and the other is empty on the table, lift the full oil measuring cup 30-40 cm away from the table and tilt it, so that the oil slowly flows into the empty cup Here, observe its flow. Good quality should be slender, well-proportioned, and continuous. If the oil flow is fast and slow, and sometimes large pieces fall, it is said that it has changed qualitatively.
2. Illumination method. On a sunny day, use a screwdriver to lift the lotion at forty-five degrees from the water. Check the condition of the oil droplets against the sun. Under the light, it can be clearly seen that there is no wear debris in the oil, which is good and can continue to work. If there are too many wear debris, it should be replaced.
3. Hand-twisting method. Twist the water-soluble silicone oil emulsion between the thumb and forefinger and grind it continuously. The better-quality hand feels lubricated, has less wear debris, and has no friction. If there is a relatively large friction feeling such as sand particles between the fingers, it indicates oil. There are many impurities inside, so it cannot be reused and should be replaced. Oil drop trace method. Take a piece of clean white filter paper, and put a few drops of oil on the filter paper. After the emulsion leaks, if there is black powder on the surface and you feel astringent when you touch it with your hands, it means that the oil has a lot of impurities. If it is of good quality It should be free of powder, dry and smooth to the touch with yellow traces.
