Dimethicone is a transparent, colorless, tasteless, odorless, non-toxic oily liquid. It has the characteristics of high flash point, low freezing point, good thermal stability, and high and low temperature resistance. It can be used for a long time at -50℃~+180℃. If it is isolated from air or in an inert gas, the temperature can reach 200℃. The surface silicon tension of the oil is very small, the compressibility is large, the shear resistance is good, the viscosity-temperature coefficient is small, and the dielectric loss is small; it is resistant to arc, corona, and is not flammable; it is hydrophobic and moisture-proof, and it also has good physiological inertness. Dimethicone has a wide range of applications.
The application range of dimethicone is as follows:
1. Used as an insulating medium that is temperature-resistant, arc-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and moisture-resistant in electrical and electronic industries.
2. Used as an excellent heat transfer medium in chemical, pharmaceutical, food and other industrial sectors.
3. Used as an efficient defoaming agent in synthetic resin, oil processing, food manufacturing, fermentation, papermaking and other processes.
4. Used in precision machinery and instruments for shockproof, damping, lubrication, force transmission, etc.
5. Used as a high-temperature release agent in plastic and rubber molding and food production.
6. Use as surface treatment agent on glass, ceramics, metal, leather, fabric, silk thread and cement products to achieve strengthening, drainage and corrosion resistance , anti-mildew, smooth and other functions.
7. Used as an additive in paints, greases, cosmetics and other products to improve leveling, smoothness and other properties.
8. It has many uses in medical treatment, such as surgery, wound dressing, injection processing, blood storage and oral medicine.
