Silicone oil is divided into three categories: dimethyl linear silicone oil, methyl phenyl silicone oil, various modified silicone oil and its secondary processing products.
Dimethyl silicone oil is mainly used in personal care products, defoaming agents, stripping, lubricants, transformers, power capacitor impregnating oil, power transfer medium, damping fluid, polishing, surface treatment, cold and hot carrier (phenyl silicone oil, solar heat transfer medium), some oil soluble coating additives and plastic additives, etc.
Methyl phenyl silicone oil is mainly used for cold and hot carriers, power containers, transformer oil, personal care products, radiation resistant silicone base oil, etc.
Modified silicone oil mainly includes: amino silicone oil, epoxy modified silicone oil, alkyl modified silicone oil, trifluoropropyl silicone oil, hydroxyl alkyl silicone oil, methyl phenyl ethyl silicone oil, polymorphic modified silicone oil, polyether modified silicone oil and so on.
Among them, amino silicone oil is used in textile softener, personal care additive, resin modification (amino silicone oil) and others (polishing, leather waterproof, etc.).
Epoxy silicone oil is used in textile auxiliaries and resin modification.
Alkyl modified silicone oil is used in base oil of grease, stripper and does not affect the printing property of products, defoaming agent and low foaming levelling agent of coating inks, oils.
Methyl trifluoropropyl silicone oil is used for water proof, oil proof, pollution resistant, high efficiency defoaming agent and high lubricity of boundary.
Hydroxyalkyl silicone oil is used in the preparation of polyurethane resin (resistant to fouling, heat and water) and other anti-graffiti resins.
Methyl phenylethyl silicone oil has better compatibility with organic matter than alkyl silicone oil, so it is used to improve thermal stability and high temperature resistance coating levelling agent.
Multicomponent modified silicone oil is applied to polyether, amino block silicone oil and polyether alkyl co-modified silicone oil.
Polyether modified silicone oil is used in polyurethane levelling agent (soft foam, hard foam, high rebound foam), hydrophilic soft assistant for textile, defoaming agent (one of the compound ingredients), levelling agent for coating and ink, assistant for PU synthetic leather, assistant for pesticide spray, personal care products. Hydrophilic soft auxiliant for textile is a kind of water-soluble silicone oil, which endue the fabric with hydrophilicity, sweat absorption and anti-static. In addition, it is also used in defoaming agent for coating and high temperature dyeing.
