A domestic new materials R&D team has recently announced that its self-developed fully ethyl-structured silicone oil maintains fluidity at -60°C, reducing low-temperature viscosity by 30% compared to conventional products. The technology has passed certification by the National Lubricant Testing Center. By optimizing molecular chain design, it effectively suppresses low-temperature crystallization, making it suitable for applications in wind power, polar engineering, and other cold environments.
Experimental data shows that the silicone oil maintains viscosity below 2200 cSt at -50°C, a 35% reduction compared to traditional products. After adoption by a wind power equipment manufacturer, gearbox startup times in winter were shortened by 40%, and failure rates dropped by 55%. "Traditional silicone oils form a gel-like state at low temperatures, causing equipment jams. The new lubricant completely resolves this issue," the technical lead stated. Currently, the product has an annual production capacity of 6,000 tons and serves multiple wind farms in northern regions.
