Production and application properties of methyl silicone oil

Production and application properties of methyl silicone oil
Methyl silicone oil is the earliest commercially available silicone polymer. Because of its excellent oxidation resistance, shear resistance, low surface tension, hydrophobicity, defoaming and other properties, it is widely used in various sectors of the national economy, such as electrical, mechanical, coatings, medicine and so on.


In the production process of methyl silicone oil, the catalyst decomposition generates gases with irritating odor, and some of these gases are miscible in the system, which makes the silicone oil have an odor and the application is limited. Therefore, the odor should be eliminated during the production of methyl silicone oil.
(Methyl silicone oil molecule)
Methyl silicone oil production process in a reactor, the entire production process, including the copolymerization reaction process, pumping low broken medium boiling process, insulation process and the finished product pumping and cooling process are low-boiling gas generated by the condenser (circulating water, condensing temperature of room temperature) condensation, non-condensable gas is led to the activated carbon absorber device for treatment and then discharged through the 15m exhaust pipe at high altitude.


Methyl silicone oils with different viscosities will be blended with each other. Since the flash of low-viscosity silicone oil is lower, the flash of the blended methyl silicone oil may be reduced. The chemical properties of methyl silicone oil are relatively stable, but the viscosity will change when it comes into contact with strong acid, strong alkali or metal aluminum, tin, etc. at high temperature.
Some tests have shown that between 90-120 ℃ using the program control temperature method and de-lowered and cooled to below 140 ℃, through the dry air bubbling method, can be obtained colorless, odorless and qualified indicators of methyl silicone oil, the average conversion rate increased from 65% to more than 80%.

What is dimethyl silicone oil?
201 Methyl silicone oil is a novel organosilicon synthetic material. It has the appearance of a colorless and transparent oily liquid. Its chemical composition is straight-chain polymethylsiloxane with the structural formula:
Due to the stability of the silicone-oxygen bond and the hydrophobicity of methyl, as well as the structural characteristics of the methylsiloxane ensemble polymerization, the methyl silicone oil has good heat resistance. High flash point, non-volatile, viscosity coefficient is small, while the compression force is large, surface tension is small, chemical stability, good electrical (insulation), and water and moisture resistance, non-toxic effect on living organisms (including humans). In order to make methyl silicone oil in other objects on the surface of the formation of thin films or made of rubber-like solid material, can be heated at high temperatures (250-300 ℃) or add the appropriate catalyst (generally with peroxide) for curing treatment. The use of methyl silicone oil temperature range of 50-180 ℃.
Methyl silicone oil of different viscosity, their physicochemical properties and characteristics of the parameters also have certain differences. There are 201-10, 201-50, 201-100, 201-350, 201-500, 201-800, 201-1000 and other grades according to the viscosity of the product. According to the user’s requirements, can also be made into other special viscosity specifications of the product.
Dimethyl silicone oil, also known as polydimethylsiloxane, is a hydrophobic silicone material with the appearance of colorless or light yellow liquid and its structural formula:
It has high transparency, light transmittance of 100% light transmittance, heat resistance, cold resistance, viscosity with temperature change is small, water resistance, small surface tension, with thermal conductivity, thermal conductivity of 0.134-0.159W/M*K, physiological inertia, good chemical stability. Electrical insulation and weather resistance, good hydrophobicity, and has a high shear resistance, can be used for a long time at -50 ℃ ~ 200 ℃. Today, we go into the strong chemical together, together to understand the dimethyl silicone oil in different fields of application!
