Dimethyl silicone oil | From 0.65-50 viscosity, what are the characteristics and differences

Dimethyl silicone oil is a polydimethylsiloxane fluid with many excellent properties:

• Chemical stability: It is not easy to react with other substances and can remain stable in different environments.

• Electrical insulation: It has excellent electrical insulation performance and can be used as an insulating medium for electrical equipment.

• Weather resistance: It has stable performance under harsh climatic conditions and is not easily affected by temperature, humidity, etc.

• Physiological inertness: It is odorless and non-toxic, has no toxic effect on the human body, and is suitable for occasions in contact with the human body.

• Hydrophobicity: It has good hydrophobicity and can be used for waterproof and moisture-proof treatment.

Sanfan dimethyl silicone oil has low, medium and high viscosities, which can meet the needs of multiple application scenarios:

• 0.65 viscosity: It is a product with lower viscosity in this series, with excellent fluidity and low surface tension. It can be used in some occasions with high requirements for fluidity and rapid spreading, such as some special paint additives, which can improve the leveling of the paint; it can also be used for lubrication of precision instruments that require low viscosity media.
• 5 viscosity: low viscosity, good permeability and lubricity. It can be used as a light lubricant for lubrication of some small mechanical parts and precision instruments, which can reduce friction and wear; it is also used in cosmetics, which can make the product have good spreadability and make the skin feel fresh and non-greasy.
• 10 viscosity: moderate viscosity, good overall performance. It can be used for heat transfer oil, which can effectively transfer heat within a certain temperature range, such as some experimental oil baths and small heating equipment; it can also be used as a basic component of mold release agent, in the fields of plastic molding, rubber processing, etc., to help products smoothly remove from the mold.
• 20 viscosity: relatively high viscosity, with good damping performance and shear resistance. It can be used to make damping oil, used in some equipment or instruments that require shock absorption and buffering, such as automobile shock absorption systems, shockproof parts of precision instruments, etc.; it can also be used in some lubrication occasions that require a certain viscosity, such as lubrication of some key parts of textile machinery.
• 50 viscosity: It is a medium viscosity product with good film-forming properties. It can be used in coatings and paints to improve the brightness, waterproofness and oxidation resistance of the paint film; in leather care, it can form a protective film to moisturize the leather, prevent cracking, and give the leather a soft feel.
