I. Core Physical and Chemical Characteristics of the Product


Product benzyl methyl silicone oil 255 is a colorless or pale yellow transparent liquid. With the continuous optimization of the production process, the factory products have basically achieved a colorless and transparent state, significantly improving the quality stability. At 25°C, its viscosity range is 50 to 1200 centistokes. The mainstream market specifications are mainly in the range of 50 to 100 centistokes. It can also be customized according to specific customer requirements to meet the different viscosity requirements of different application scenarios. The relative density is 0.02 to 0.10, significantly higher than ordinary methyl silicone oil and higher than the density of water. This characteristic is mainly determined by the benzyl content. The higher the benzyl ratio, the greater the density. The open cup flash point is not less than 300°C, and the freezing point is not higher than -40°C. The refractive index is between 1.4600 and 1.5150.


The most prominent technical advantage of this product lies in its extremely wide operating temperature range, which can operate stably within the range of -70°C to +320°C for a long time. At the low-temperature end, the freezing point of -40°C ensures good fluidity in extremely cold environments, and the actual operating temperature can reach -70°C. At the high-temperature end, the flash point of not less than 300°C provides sufficient safety guarantee for high-temperature operation. Compared with ordinary methyl silicone oil, its thermal oxidation stability has significantly improved, maintaining the stability of viscosity and chemical inertness under long-term exposure to high temperatures, effectively extending the oil replacement cycle and reducing equipment maintenance costs.
