Ethyl silicone oil is an organosilicon compound with excellent performance, playing an important role in many fields.
From the perspective of physical properties, ethyl silicone oil is usually a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid with a low freezing point, generally below -70℃, which allows it to maintain good fluidity in low temperature environments. The relative density is between 0.95-1.05, the flash point is high, greater than 265℃, and has good thermal stability and safety. It can also be dissolved in organic solvents such as toluene, ether, and chloroform, and can be mixed with petroleum products at will, which facilitates its application in different systems.
In terms of chemical properties, ethyl silicone oil has good chemical stability, is not easy to react chemically with other substances, has outstanding aging resistance, and is not easy to deteriorate after long-term use. At the same time, it is non-toxic, non-corrosive, relatively friendly to the human body and the environment, and meets environmental protection requirements.
Ethyl silicone oil is widely used. In the electrical industry, due to its excellent dielectric and insulating properties, it is widely used as an insulating material, such as insulating oil for transformers, capacitors, wires and cables, etc., which can effectively prevent electrical equipment from leakage and short circuits and ensure the safe operation of equipment. In the field of precision instruments, it can be used as instrument oil. It has good lubrication properties and low volatility. It can reduce friction and wear between instrument components, ensure the accuracy and stability of the instrument, and extend its service life. In the automotive industry, ethyl silicone oil can be used as hydraulic oil and special lubricant for the braking system, steering system and engine of the car. It can provide reliable lubrication and protection under high temperature and high pressure environment to ensure the normal operation of the car. In addition, it can also be used as a release agent for a variety of rubber and plastic products, making the products easy to demold, smooth surface, improve production efficiency and product quality. In the aerospace field, ethyl silicone oil also has important applications, such as as lubricant and sealant for aircraft engines, which can meet the use requirements under extreme conditions such as high temperature, high speed and high load.
