Description :
SILICONE
OIL is a water clear silicone fluid available in viscosities ranging from
0.65 centistokes to 1,00,000 centistokes. Important features of fluid
include: -
 Little
change in physical properties over a wide temperature span…a
relative flat viscosity temperature slope
and serviceability from -- 40 to over 400° F (-40
to 204o C).
Excellent water repellency.
Good dielectric properties over a wide range of temperature and
frequencies.
Low surface tension – readily wets clean surfaces to impart water
repellency and release characteristics.
Low –toxicity – tests have established that SILICONE OIL is essentially
Non – toxic and non – irritating (although temporary discomfort may result if
rubbed into the eye).
SILICONE OIL also exhibits heat stability, oxidation
resistance, very low vapour pressure, and high flash points. It is
insoluble in organic liquid other than active solvents and is non-greasy,
non-rancidifying and
virtually odorless.
Uses :
Its unique combination of outstanding properties suit
SILICONE OIL from a
variety of application functions, as well as for a wide range of products
and process.
As a Release Material :
Used along or as part of a compounded formula,
SILICONE OIL provides an odorless, non-toxic, non-carbonizing mould
release for rubber, plastics & metal die castings.
As a Foam
Preventive :
Extremely small amounts of the fluid effectively
control foam in many procession operations, especially in non- adueous
systems.
As a Mechanical Fluid
:
Excellent viscosity – temperature characteristics,
therms and chemical stability shear breakdown resistance, compressibility
make SILICONE OIL outstanding for mechanical/hydraulic uses. Typical uses
include hydraulic stabilizers, damping mediums.
As a Surface-Active Material
:
Added vinyl plastisols and liquid springs, SILICONE
OIL improves the flow characteristics, de-aerates and lubricates the
surface of the completed part.
As a Lubricant
:
The fluid provides excellent lubrication for
plastic and electrometric surfaces.
The Cosmetics And Skin Preparations :
It
is an important ingredient in hard creams, skin proctactants, suntan lotions and hair grooming aids because it forms a non-greasy, protective film which
resists water and waterborne irritants, yet allows the skin to breath.
In Polishes And Chemical
Specialties :
SILICONE OIL is used in most automobile and
furniture polishes for its case of application, high gloss with minimum
rubbing, and a durable water –repellent film. It is also used in many
other specialty formulations, including aerosol starches and fabrics
conditioners.
In Electrical / Electronic Equipments :
With excellent properties, SILICONE OIL is widely
used for both insulating and damping applications. Refer to specific
literature on SILICONE OIL, electrical-grade electronic grade.
In Food Processing :
Non-contaminating and
non-adulterating, it is
suited to many food processing applications. When considering the fluid
for uses involving FDA regulation refer to literature on Food – Grade
SILICONE OIL.
Solubility :
The solubility of SILICONE OIL varies some what
according to the viscosity chosen. The low viscosity grade are more
completely soluble in a given solvent than are the higher viscosity
grades. Since solubility varies, testing is recommended before attempting
volume operations. Solubility of the silicone fluid in a number or
commonly-used solvents is indicated below. Flammability and toxicity
should also be important considerations in the choice of a solvent.
