Is there any other use of ethyl silicone oil in plastic processing?

Hits: 996 img

Ethyl silicone oil is widely used in plastic processing. In addition to serving as a release agent and modifier, it also has the following multiple uses:
1. Improve high temperature resistance performance

Ethyl silicone oil has excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, and can maintain stability in the temperature range of -160 ° C to 150 ° C. In plastic processing, adding an appropriate amount of ethyl silicone oil can significantly improve the thermal stability of plastic products, making them less prone to deformation, softening, or decomposition at high temperatures, thereby extending the product's service life.

2. Improve surface quality
The lubrication performance of ethyl silicone oil can help plastic particles flow more smoothly during injection molding, reduce surface bubbles, defects, and textures, and improve the surface smoothness and transparency of the product. This makes plastic products more attractive in appearance, especially suitable for products that require high surface quality, such as daily necessities and cosmetic packaging.

3. Enhance softness and toughness
Ethyl silicone oil can be mixed evenly with plastic particles, increasing the fluidity of plastic molecular chains, making plastic products softer, more resilient, and less prone to breakage or fracture. This characteristic is particularly prominent in products that require elasticity and impact resistance, such as toys and sports equipment.

4. As a lubricant
Ethyl silicone oil can also be used as a lubricant in plastic processing to reduce friction and improve production efficiency. Its lubricating performance is superior to traditional castor oil and oleic acid lubricants.


5. Improve wear resistance
Ethyl silicone oil, as a processing aid, can improve the wear resistance and friction resistance of plastic materials. This enables plastic products to maintain good performance and reduce wear over long-term use.

6. Enhance anti-static performance
In some plastic processing, ethyl silicone oil can also endow plastic products with certain anti-static properties. This is particularly important for products that require prevention of static electricity accumulation, such as electronic device casings.

7. Used for special plastic modification
Ethyl silicone oil can be used in the production of high-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber (HTV) to enhance the strength and hardness of the silicone rubber. In addition, it can also be used for modifying other plastics and resins to enhance their overall performance.

In summary, the application of ethyl silicone oil in plastic processing is not limited to demolding and modification, but also covers multiple aspects such as improving high temperature resistance, improving surface quality, enhancing softness and toughness, serving as a lubricant, improving wear resistance, and enhancing anti-static performance. These characteristics make it an indispensable additive in plastic processing
