Silicone oil is a widely used product in production and daily life. Dimethyl silicone oil has various excellent properties, making it widely used in various sectors of industrial and agricultural production, national defense industry, scientific research, and healthcare. It is widely used in electrical insulation, demolding, defoaming, damping, shockproof, rolling, dustproof, waterproof, high and low humidity, and other aspects. Let's take a look at the specific uses of dimethyl silicone oil.

1. Application in the electromechanical industry: Dimethylsilicone oil is widely used in motors, electrical appliances, and electronic instruments as an insulation medium that is resistant to temperature, arc corona, corrosion, moisture, and dust. Currently, it is also used as an impregnant for transformers, capacitors, and scanning transformers in televisions. Used as a liquid shockproof and damping material in various precision machinery, instruments, and instruments. The shock-absorbing performance of dimethyl silicone oil is less affected by temperature, and is mostly used in instruments such as those used in aircraft and automobiles in situations with strong mechanical vibrations and large environmental temperature changes. Used for shockproof, damping, and stabilizing instrument readings, it can also serve as a liquid spring and is used in aircraft landing devices.

2. As a defoamer: Due to its low surface tension and insolubility in water, animal and vegetable oils, as well as high boiling mineral oils, dimethyl silicone oil has good chemical stability and is non-toxic. It has been widely used as a defoamer in industries such as petroleum, chemical, medical, pharmaceutical, food processing, textile, printing and dyeing, and paper making. As long as 10-100PPM of silicone oil is added, it has a good defoamer effect.

3. Used as a release agent: Due to the non adhesion between dimethyl silicone oil and rubber, plastic, metal, etc., it is also used as a release agent for various rubber and plastic products forming and processing, as well as in precision casting. Using it as a demolding agent not only facilitates demolding, but also makes the surface of the product clean, smooth, and with clear texture.

4. Insulating, dustproof, and mold resistant coatings: Dip a layer of dimethyl silicone oil on the surface of glass and ceramics, and heat treat at 250-300 ℃ to form a semi permanent waterproof, mold resistant, and insulating film. Using it to treat insulating devices can improve their insulation performance: using it to treat optical instruments can prevent mold from forming on lenses and prisms; Using it to handle drug bottles can extend the shelf life of the drug without causing any loss of the preparation due to sticking to the wall; Using it to treat the surface of film can provide lubrication, reduce friction, and extend the lifespan of the film.

5. Lubricant: Dimethylsilicone oil is suitable for use as a lubricant for rubber, plastic bearings, and gears. It can also be used as a lubricant for rolling friction between steel and other metals at high temperatures, or for friction between steel and other metals. However, due to the poor lubrication performance of methyl silicone oil at room temperature, it is generally not recommended as a lubricant between metals at room temperature.

6. As an additive: Dimethyl silicone oil can be used as an additive for many materials, such as as as a brightener for paint. Adding a small amount of silicone oil to the paint can prevent the paint from floating or wrinkling, improve the brightness of the paint film. Adding a small amount of silicone oil to the ink can improve printing quality. Adding a small amount of silicone oil to polishing oil (such as car polish) can increase brightness, protect the paint film, and have excellent waterproof effect.

7. Application in healthcare:; Dimethyl silicone oil has no toxicity to the human body and is not decomposed by body fluids, so it is also widely used in medical and health industries. By utilizing its defoaming effect, oral gastrointestinal distension tablets and pulmonary edema defoaming aerosols have been prepared for medicinal use. Adding silicone oil to the ointment can improve the penetration ability of the drug into the skin and enhance its efficacy. Some ointments based on silicone oil have good therapeutic effects on burns, dermatitis, bedsores, etc. By utilizing the anticoagulant effect of silicone oil, it can be used to treat the surface of blood storage devices and extend the storage time of blood samples.

8. Other aspects: Dimethylsilicone oil has many other uses. For example, using its high flash point, odorless, colorless, transparent, and non-toxic properties, it is used as a heat carrier in oil baths or thermostats in industries such as steel, glass, ceramics, and scientific research. It has good shear resistance and can be used as hydraulic oil, especially aviation hydraulic oil. Using it to treat rayon spinning heads can eliminate static electricity and improve drawing quality. Adding silicone oil to cosmetics can enhance its moisturizing and protective effects on the skin, and so on.

The above is an introduction to the uses of dimethyl silicone oil. From this, it can be seen that the use of dimethyl silicone oil is very extensive, and it has many advantages whether it is used as a defoamer, an additive, in the electromechanical industry, or in healthcare. Dimethylsilicone oil is indeed a product worth choosing from.
