Silicone oil, with its unique chemical structure and physical properties, plays an important role in many fields. It is mainly composed of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms to form a main chain, with methyl groups connected on both sides. This structure endows silicone oil with many special physical and chemical properties.

Silicone oil has excellent heat resistance, electrical insulation, weather resistance, hydrophobicity, physiological inertness, and low surface tension. It also has a low viscosity temperature coefficient, high compression resistance, and some varieties have radiation resistance. These characteristics make silicone oil widely used in cosmetics, skincare products, electrical, mechanical, plastic rubber, textile and other fields.

Silicone oil is often used as a basic ingredient in cosmetics and skincare products due to its lubricity and non greasy properties. It can enhance the extensibility and usability of the product, bringing a silky touch to the skin, while forming a protective film to lock in moisture and prevent external environmental damage to the skin.

In the electrical field, the high and low temperature resistance and good electrical insulation properties of silicone oil make it an ideal material for thermal conduction and electrical insulation in electronic devices. In the mechanical industry, silicone oil can be used for mechanical operation, bearings, etc. under high and low temperature conditions, and can also be used as shock-absorbing oil for various instruments and meters.

In addition, silicone oil is also used as a release agent, aerosol lubricant, defoamer, etc. in the plastic and rubber industry, as well as giving fabrics a soft and smooth feel in the soft finishing of textiles.
