In the wonderful world of chemical industry, there is a magical substance - hydroxy silicone oil. It looks ordinary, but it has powerful application capabilities beyond imagination and is quietly changing many industries.



Low molecular weight hydroxy silicone oil is like a versatile "little expert". It is a powerful assistant in the preparation of block polymers and defoamers. In the silicone rubber products industry, it plays an important role. For example, in a factory specializing in the production of silicone kitchenware, the silicone spatulas originally produced are prone to surface roughness and difficulty in demolding during processing.After the introduction of low molecular weight hydroxy silicone oil as a structure control agent, the fluidity of silicone has been greatly improved, the processing process has become smoother, and the surface of the finished shovel is smooth and delicate. Not only that, it still maintains good flexibility after being stored for several months, and the loss rate has been reduced by nearly 30%. Moreover, because it increases the transparency of rubber products, the transparent silicone fresh-keeping lids currently produced have higher transparency and greatly improved aesthetics. At the same time, the mechanical properties are enhanced and more durable, which is deeply loved by consumers.

Low molecular weight hydroxy silicone oil has another "hidden skill", which is to prepare cationic, anionic and non-ionic hydroxy silicone oil emulsions (hydroxy emulsions). When it is used in combination with hydrogen-containing silicone oil, it becomes an excellent treatment agent for fabrics, leather and paper. In the field of clothing manufacturing, a well-known sports brand uses fabrics treated with hydroxy silicone oil emulsions to make sportswear. The fabrics become soft and smooth, making them more comfortable for athletes to wear. At the same time, they have certain waterproof properties, so athletes can stay dry even when exercising in rainy days.In the leather processing industry, a manufacturer of high-end leather goods used this treatment agent, and the leather that was originally easy to wear became tough and shiny, extending the product life and significantly improving the grade. For paper processing, some high-end packaging paper factories use it to give paper waterproof and oil-proof properties. The food packaging paper produced effectively prevents grease penetration, greatly increasing the added value of the product.

High molecular weight hydroxy silicone oil is the "cornerstone" of the basic rubber material of room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber. In the manufacturing of electronic products, the sealing gaskets of smartphones are made of silicone rubber made of high molecular weight hydroxy silicone oil, which can maintain good elasticity in high temperature environments, effectively prevent dust and water vapor from entering the interior of the phone, and ensure the normal operation of the phone.In the aerospace field, such silicone rubber products are used in protective covers of electronic equipment on satellites. With their excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, oxidation resistance and excellent electrical insulation, they provide reliable protection for the stable operation of equipment in extreme space environments. In the automotive industry, silicone rubber made of high molecular weight hydroxy silicone oil is also often used in seals around engines. Even in the harsh environment of high temperature and high vibration of the engine, it can still maintain good sealing performance and ensure the efficient and stable operation of the engine.
