Introduction
Dimethicone is also known as methyl silicone oil, polydimethylsiloxane liquid. It is a odorless, odorless, non-toxic colorless transparent viscous liquid. Soluble in benzene, toluene, xylene, and ether, partially soluble in ethanol, butanol, and acetone, insoluble in cyclohexanol, methanol, paraffin oil, and vegetable oil. Has excellent hydrophobicity and moisture resistance, good light transmission, chemical stability.
Uses of Dimethicone

Dimethicone is widely used in insulation, heat-resistant, moisture-proof fillers, high-efficiency defoamers, mold release agents, lubricants and surface treatment agents. The industries involved are daily chemical industry, rubber, plastic, latex and other industries, machinery, automobile, electronics and other industries, clothing industry, leather industry, pharmaceutical industry, food industry and some new materials industries.

01Daily chemical industry
Used in skin care creams, shower gels, shampoos and many other cosmetic formulations. It has excellent softening effect and silky feel, improves the moisturizing and protective effects on the skin, etc.

02Plastic industry
Due to the inviscidity of dimethyl silicone oil with rubber, plastic, metal, etc., it is used as a release agent, release agent and brightener in the production of certain rubber, plastic, latex, polyurethane products and crafts, so that the surface of the product is clean and smooth. Clear texture.

03Machinery, automobile, electrical appliances and other industries
Machinery, automobile, instrumentation, electronics and other industries, used as high-end lubricants, liquid springs, cutting fluids, buffer oils, transformer oils, high and low temperature brake oils, brake oils, instrument shock oils, frame mold release agents, etc. . Can also be used as a liquid spring, and in the landing device of the aircraft.

04Textile and clothing industry
Used as softener, water repellent, feel improver, lubricating of sewing thread, lubricating of chemical fiber spinneret, garment pressure lining assistant, defoaming agent, etc.

05Leather and leather chemical industry
The leather and leather chemical industry will add this product to other additives, which can be used as softener, water repellent, feel agent, defoamer, brightener and so on.

06Medicine, food
It is used as defoamer and lubricant in medicine and food industry.

Dimethicone is not toxic to the human body and is not decomposed by body fluids, so it is also widely used in medical and health services. By taking advantage of its antifoaming effect, oral gastrointestinal anti-bloating tablets and pulmonary edema antifoaming aerosols have been prepared. Adding silicone oil to the ointment can increase the drug's ability to penetrate the skin and improve its efficacy. Some plasters based on silicone oil have good effects on burns, dermatitis, bedsores, etc.

07Paint, ink and other industries
It can be used as a brightener for paint. Adding a small amount of silicone oil to the paint can make the paint not float and wrinkle, and improve the brightness of the paint film. Adding a small amount of silicone oil to the ink can improve the printing quality. Adding a small amount of silicone oil to the polishing oil (such as car varnish) can increase the brightness, protect the paint film, and have excellent waterproof effect.

08New materials industry
Used for other specific purposes, or copolymerized with other materials to generate new materials
