Silicone oil is divided into three major categories: dimethyl linear silicone oil, methylphenyl silicone oil, various modified silicone oils and their secondary processed products.
Dimethyl silicone oil is mainly used in personal care products, defoaming agents, mold release, lubricants, transformers, power capacitor impregnating oils, power transmission media, damping fluids, polishing, surface treatment, hot and cold carriers (phenyl silicone oil , solar heat transfer medium), additives for some oil-soluble coatings and plastic additives, etc.
Methyl phenyl silicone oil is mainly used in hot and cold carriers, power containers, transformer oil, personal care products, radiation-resistant silicone base oil, etc.
Modified silicone oil mainly includes: amino silicone oil, epoxy modified silicone oil, alkyl modified silicone oil, trifluoropropyl silicone oil, hydroxyalkyl silicone oil, methyl phenethyl silicone oil, multi-component modified silicone oil, polyether modified silicone oil Silicone oil, etc.
Amino silicone oil is used in textile softeners, personal care additives, resin modification (amino-terminated silicone oil) and others (polishing, leather waterproofing, etc.).
Epoxy silicone oil is used in textile auxiliaries and resin modification.
Alkyl modified silicone oil is used as base oil for greases, demoulding machines without affecting the printability of products, and as defoaming agents and low-foaming leveling agents for coatings, inks, and oil products.
Methyl trifluoropropyl silicone oil is used as a waterproof, oil-proof, stain-resistant, high-efficiency defoaming agent and relatively high boundary lubricity.
Hydroxyalkyl silicone oil is used in the modification of polyurethane resin (fouling resistance, heat resistance, water resistance) and the preparation of other anti-graffiti resins.
Methyl phenethyl silicone oil has better compatibility with organic matter than alkyl silicone oil, so it is used as a leveling agent to improve thermal stability and high temperature resistance.
Multiple modified silicone oils are used in polyether, amino block silicone oil and polyether alkyl co-modified silicone oil.
Polyether modified silicone oil is used in polyurethane foam equalizers (soft foam, hard foam, high resilience foam), hydrophilic softening additives for textiles, defoaming agents (one of the compound components), coatings and inks Leveling agent, PU synthetic leather auxiliary, pesticide spray auxiliary, personal care products. Hydrophilic softening agent for textiles is a water-soluble silicone oil that gives fabrics hydrophilicity, sweat absorption and anti-static properties. In addition, it is also used in coating defoaming agents and high-temperature dyeing defoaming agents.
