Silicone oil is a polyorganosiloxane with chain structure of different degrees of polymerization. It is obtained by hydrolyzing dimethyldichlorosilane with water to obtain the initial polycondensation ring body, the ring body is cracked and rectified to obtain the lower ring body, and then the ring body, head agent and catalyst are put together to telomerize to obtain each Silicone oil can be obtained by removing low boilers from a mixture of different polymerization degrees by vacuum distillation. More commonly used silicone oil, organic groups are all methyl, called methyl silicone oil. The organic group can also use other organic groups to replace part of the methyl group, so as to improve certain properties of silicone oil and apply to various purposes. Here are some of its varieties and uses.

   Methicone

Product introduction:
     Methyl silicone oil is the most widely used variety among silicone oils. Colorless, odorless, non-volatile; insoluble in water, methanol, ethylene glycol, miscible with benzene, dimethyl ether, methyl ethyl ketone, carbon tetrachloride or kerosene, has a small vapor pressure, high flash point and ignite. Methyl silicone oil has excellent heat resistance, electrical insulation, weather resistance, hydrophobicity, physiological inertia and small surface tension, and also has a low viscosity-temperature coefficient and high compression resistance.
The main purpose:
     Used as insulation, lubrication, shockproof, dustproof oil, dielectric fluid and heat carrier. It can also be used as an additive for defoaming, film release, paint and daily cosmetics. The excellent performance of the product is widely used in electronic appliances, building materials, motor manufacturing, transportation, petrochemical, textile, printing and dyeing, thread making, various polyester and polyester cotton, polyester rayon fabrics to improve the smoothness and elasticity of finishing and Medical and health, aviation research and military technology and other fields.

Water soluble silicone oil

Nature and use:
     This product is a silicone oil that contains a variety of active gene modifications and is completely soluble in water. Used for finishing of cotton, wool, silk, polyester and other fibers to make them soft, breathable, smooth and antistatic. It is used in cosmetics to improve its softness, smoothness and moisturizing effect. Used in the food industry to defoam, lubricate, release molds and improve gloss. In addition, it is widely used in many industries such as plastics, rubber, petrochemical and so on.

    Diffusion pump silicone oil

Performance and use:
     Diffusion pump oil is polymethylphenylsiloxane colorless transparent oily liquid with high phenyl content. The product has extremely low saturated vapor pressure, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, anti-oxidation, anti-radiation, stable chemical properties, and high vacuum degree, etc. It is an ideal liquid medium material in high vacuum systems. It is mainly used as high-vacuum diffusion pump oil in electronics, metallurgy, and instrumentation industries, and can also be used as a high-temperature heat carrier and transfer fluid in instruments.
