In the field of lubrication, long-chain alkyl silicone oil has become an important component of lubricating oil and grease due to its excellent lubricating performance. In some high-temperature and high-load mechanical operating environments, ordinary lubricating oil is prone to oxidation and deterioration, and loses its lubricating effect. However, long-chain alkyl silicone oil has good oxidation resistance and thermal stability, and can form a long-lasting lubricating film under harsh conditions, effectively reducing wear between mechanical parts and extending the service life of equipment. Whether it is the precision parts of automobile engines or the transmission systems of large industrial equipment, long-chain alkyl silicone oil can be seen.
In the paint and coating industry, long-chain alkyl silicone oil has become an "expert" in solving foam and dispersion problems. During the production and construction of coatings, a large amount of foam is often generated due to stirring, air mixing and other reasons. These foams not only affect the appearance and construction performance of the coating, but may also cause defects such as pinholes and bubbles in the coating. As a defoamer, long-chain alkyl silicone oil can quickly reduce the surface tension of the foam and break the foam, thereby eliminating the foam problem. At the same time, it can also act as a wetting dispersant to reduce the surface tension between pigment particles, so that the pigment is evenly dispersed in the coating, and improve the hiding power and color stability of the coating.
Long-chain alkyl silicone oil also performs well in the dispersion of pigments and other additives. In the production of inks, plastic masterbatches and other products, the uniform dispersion of pigments directly affects the color and quality of the products. Long-chain alkyl silicone oil can effectively reduce the surface energy of pigment particles, allowing them to be fully dispersed in the matrix material, avoiding problems such as color flakes and color differences, and ensuring the consistency and brightness of product colors.
