Dimethyl silicone oil, also known as methyl silicone oil, dimethicone liquid. It is an odorless, odorless, non-toxic, colorless and 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. It has excellent hydrophobic and moisture-proof properties, good light transmittance and chemical stability.
Uses of dimethicone

Dimethyl silicone oil is widely used in insulation, heat-resistant, moisture-proof fillers, high-efficiency defoamers, release agents, lubricants and surface treatment agents. The industries involved include daily chemicals, rubber, plastics, latex and other industries, machinery, automobiles, electronic appliances, clothing, leather, pharmaceuticals, food and other industries and some new material industries.

01. Daily chemical industry
It can be used in skin cream, body soap, shampoo and other cosmetic formulas, with excellent soft effect and silky feel, with moisturizing, protecting the skin and other functions.

02. Plastic industry
Because dimethicone is non-stick to rubber, plastic, metal, etc., it is used as an isolating agent, isolating agent and brightener in the production of certain rubber, plastic, latex, polyurethane products and processes, so that the surface of the product is clean, smooth and transparent.

03. Machinery, automobiles, electrical appliances and other industries
Machinery, automobiles, instruments, electronics and other industries, used as high-grade lubricating oil, liquid spring, cutting fluid, buffer oil, transformer oil, high and low temperature brake oil, instrument shock absorber oil, frame model trip agent, etc. It can also be used as a liquid spring and landing device for aircraft.

04. Textile and garment industry
Used as softener, water repellent, feel modifier, sewing thread lubrication, chemical fiber spinneret lubrication, clothing pressure lining auxiliaries, defoamers, etc.

05. Leather and leather chemical industry
The leather and leather chemical industry adds the product to other additives and can be used as a softener, hydrophobic, feeler, defoamer, brightener, etc.

06. Medicine, food
Used as defoamer, lubricant, etc. in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
Dimethyl silicone oil is non-toxic to the human body, does not be decomposed by body fluids, and is widely used in medical and health services. It has defoaming effect and can be made into oral, gastrointestinal flatulence tablets, pulmonary edema anti-bubble aerosol and other medicinal materials. The addition of silicone oil to the ointment can increase the penetration ability and efficacy of the drug on the skin. Some ointments based on silicone oil have a good effect on burns, dermatitis, bedsores, etc.

07. Paint, ink and other industries
It can be used as a brightener for paint, adding a small amount of silicone oil to the paint to 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, and adding a small amount of silicone oil to the polishing oil (such as car varnish) can increase the whiteness, protect the paint film, and have excellent waterproof effect.

08. New material industry
For other special purposes or copolymerization with other materials to produce new materials

Note
Contact with high concentration of strong acids or strong alkaline substances and Lewis acid is easy to degrade and volatilize, the higher the temperature, the more obvious the reaction. Low concentrations of strong acids or bases in contact with it, or prolonged contact at high temperatures, have a tendency to increase viscosity until crosslinking.
