What is the relationship between silicone defoamer and dimethylsilicone oil? Dimethylsilicone oil and silicone defoamer have some similarities. Let's take a look at the two products and see the relationship between the two.
1, defoamer is an additive, its function is to eliminate the foam formed by the material in the production process.


2, silicone defoamer its main group is called silicone oil silicone components, silicone oil at room temperature is a non-volatile oily liquid, insoluble in water, animal and plant oils and mineral oils, or solubility is very small, both high temperature and low temperature resistance. Chemical properties are inert, physical properties are stable, no biological activity.


3, silicone defoamer is a white viscous emulsion. It can not only remove the foam on the liquid surface of the production process medium, so as to improve the separation, gasification, drainage and other effects of filtration, washing, extraction, distillation, evaporation, dehydration, drying and other processes, and ensure the capacity of various materials and treatment containers.


4, polydimethylsiloxane, also known as dimethylsilicone oil, is a hydrophobic silicone material. In medicine, daily chemical supplies, food, construction and other fields are used, its derivatives have reached hundreds of kinds.


5, dimethyl silicone oil colorless or light yellow liquid, tasteless, high transparency, heat resistance, cold resistance, viscosity changes with temperature, water resistance, surface tension is small, thermal conductivity, non-toxic and tasteless, with physiological inertia, good chemical stability. Electrical insulation and weather resistance, good hydrophobicity, and has a high shear resistance. With excellent physical properties, it can be directly used for moisture-proof insulation, damping, shock absorption, defoaming, lubrication, polishing, etc. It is widely used as insulation lubrication, shock proof, oil dust proof, dielectric fluid and heat carrier. And used as defoaming, release agent, paint and daily chemical additives.


The relationship between the two is that dimethylsilicone oil is the raw material of silicone defoamer, dimethylsilicone oil can be used as a defoamer, but the defoamer can only be used as a defoamer.
