As the most widely used basic material in the organosilicon industry, dimethyl silicone oil has been deeply penetrated into many fields such as industrial manufacturing, daily chemical and beauty, medical and health, electronics and electrical engineering, relying on comprehensive advantages such as high and low temperature resistance, lubrication, hydrophobicity, defoaming and electrical insulation. Its application scenarios cover high-end manufacturing and people's livelihood consumption, adapting to the personalized needs of different industries, and becoming a key additive to promote the upgrading of downstream industries and improve product quality. Its application value runs through the entire links of production, processing and terminal use.
The industrial manufacturing field is the core application scenario of dimethyl silicone oil, accounting for more than 45%. In plastic and rubber processing, low-viscosity dimethyl silicone oil is used as an efficient mold release agent, which can quickly separate from the mold, reduce product defects, and improve production efficiency. It is widely used in injection molding, extrusion, calendering and other processes, adapting to various plastics and rubber products such as PP, PE and PVC; in the field of mechanical lubrication, high-viscosity dimethyl silicone oil is used as a special lubricant, which can work stably in high temperature, high load and strong corrosion environments, and is used for the lubrication of bearings, gears, vacuum pumps and other equipment to extend the service life of equipment; in the field of coatings and inks, it is used as a leveling agent and defoaming agent, which can eliminate brush marks and craters, improve the gloss and uniformity of the coating, avoid bubbles, and adapt to industrial coatings, wood lacquers, printing inks and other products.
In the daily chemical and beauty field, dimethyl silicone oil is an indispensable functional component, accounting for about 25%. In skin care products, low-viscosity dimethyl silicone oil can form a breathable and hydrophobic film, lock skin moisture, and bring a smooth skin feel, avoiding greasiness. It is widely used in creams, lotions, sunscreens and other products; in hair care products, it can attach to the hair surface, repair hair scales, reduce dryness, split ends and static electricity, and improve hair smoothness, adapting to shampoos, conditioners, hair masks and other products; in cosmetics, it is used as a smoothing agent and mold release agent, improving the application feel and spreadability of lipsticks, foundations, eye shadows and other products, avoiding powder clumping and makeup removal.
In the fields of medical health and electronics and electrical engineering, the high-end application value of dimethyl silicone oil is prominent. In the medical field, high-purity dimethyl silicone oil has good biocompatibility and can be used to prepare medical catheters, artificial organ coatings, defoaming agents, etc. Among them, medical defoaming agents can be used for defoaming in the digestive tract and lungs to assist disease diagnosis and treatment; in the electronics and electrical field, its excellent electrical insulation and high and low temperature resistance are used for the insulation, heat dissipation and moisture-proof of electronic components, adapting to chip packaging, LED lights, high-voltage cables and other products to ensure stable operation of equipment. In addition, in the food processing field, food-grade dimethyl silicone oil can be used as a defoaming agent for the production of beverages, soy products, edible oil, etc., complying with food safety standards.
