Dimethicone, chemically known as dimethicone, is a colorless and transparent polymer synthetic material that is widely used in many fields.
It is available in a wide range of viscosities, from 5 cps to 2 million cps, and is able to exhibit different forms from flowing liquids to thick semi-solids. Its main characteristics include excellent slip, softness, hydrophobicity, as well as good chemical stability, electrical insulation and high and low temperature resistance. The material has a high flash point and a low freezing point, and can be used for long periods of time in temperatures ranging from -50°C to +200°C, with a low viscosity and temperature coefficient, high compressibility, low surface tension, excellent hydrophobicity, moisture repellency, and low thermal conductivity.
According to different application needs, dimethicone oil is often used in many fields such as daily chemicals, industry, and machinery. In cosmetics, for example, it gives skincare, shower gels and shampoos a soft and silky texture; In the production of rubber, plastics and latex, it is used as a release agent, release agent and brightener to enhance product quality. In addition, it is widely used in machinery, automobiles, electronic appliances, etc., as a lubricating oil, buffer oil, transformer oil, etc., to provide efficient lubrication and shock absorption.
In the textile industry, it acts as a softener and feel improver, improving the feel and water-repellent properties of fabrics. In the chemical, building materials and other industries, dimethicone oil is also used as a defoamer and lubricant.
When using dimethicone, it is necessary to avoid contact with high concentrations of strong acids or bases, as these substances can lead to degradation and volatilization of the oil, especially at high temperatures. At the same time, low-concentration acids and bases may lead to an increase in the viscosity of silicone oil and even cross-linking reactions at high temperatures for a long time, so special attention needs to be paid to the use environment.
