Firstly, low viscosity silicone oil, as a chain end capping agent for organic silicon polymers, can effectively regulate the molecular structure of the polymer and increase its stability under different conditions. This application is indispensable in the synthesis of high-performance materials, especially in situations where precise control of molecular weight distribution is required. Low viscosity silicone oil exhibits great advantages.
In addition, low viscosity silicone oil is widely used in the field of lubrication. It can provide excellent lubrication between elastomers, plastics, and metals, reducing wear and improving durability. Especially in spandex oil agents, the lubricity of low viscosity silicone oil can effectively extend the service life of equipment and improve processing efficiency.
In hydraulic systems, low viscosity silicone oil is also used as low-temperature hydraulic oil, which can maintain good fluidity at extremely low temperatures and ensure stable operation of hydraulic equipment in cold environments. In the field of electronic devices, low viscosity silicone oil is often used as an insulating liquid in impregnated paper capacitors and other equipment, with excellent electrical insulation properties that can effectively prevent electrical equipment failures.
In the silicone rubber industry, low viscosity silicone oil serves as a diluent for room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber (RTV) elastomers, which can adjust the viscosity of the rubber and make it easier to operate during the molding process. Especially in the production of two-component room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber, the addition of low viscosity silicone oil can improve the processing performance of silicone rubber, ensuring the uniformity and quality of the final product.
In addition, low viscosity silicone oil is often used as a coating additive, which improves the flowability of the coating, makes the coating surface smoother, reduces bubbles and defects, and enhances the uniformity and aesthetics of the coating. In some special applications, low viscosity silicone oil can reduce the surface tension of coatings, improve their coating performance, and thereby enhance the adhesion and durability of coatings.
