Silicone oil defoamer has the advantages of low dosage, high efficiency and non toxicity. In the petroleum industry, silicone oil defoamers are widely used to control or inhibit defoaming in natural gas desulfurization, deceleration oil refining, oil-gas separation, ethylene glycol drying, aromatic hydrocarbon extraction, asphalt processing, lubricating oil dewaxing and other devices.


Silicone oil can be used as a film remover. Its surface tension is small and it is easy to form a very thin film on the mold. It has little compatibility with most polymers, so it has good demoulding property. Silicone oil has good heat resistance, so the release agent has long service life and can reduce the pollution to the mold. Even at high temperature, carbonization does not produce smoke or any toxic gas, so silicone oil is a very ideal release agent. In addition to being widely used in the forming and processing of rubber products and various plastics, it is also widely used in food, metal casting, metal welding, glass products, printing and other industries. Because the silicone oil is non-toxic, it can directly contact with food and can be used as a release agent for food baking molds. High viscosity silicone oil can also be directly added to plastics as processing aid and internal release agent, which can improve the release performance of plastics, improve production efficiency and reduce the wear of tools, molds and equipment. Silicone oil can also be directly added to silicone rubber to make copier fusing rollers, etc.


Cosmetics: methyl silicone oil has been widely used as an effective ingredient in skin care and hair care products to increase lubrication and skin care, improve gloss and improve the sense of smoothness.


Medicine: silicone oil can be used to treat the medicine bottle to ensure that all the medicine in the bottle is quantitatively extracted. It can be used to treat the outer surface of tablets and capsules to improve the moisture resistance of tablets and capsules. It can be used to treat surgical gauze to prevent the gauze from adhering to the wound. Silicone oil can also be used to defoaming the contents of the stomach before gastroscopy.


Textile: silicone oil has been widely used as textile printing and dyeing auxiliaries. Silicone oil lotion can be used as a finishing agent for synthetic fiber fabrics to improve the waterproof and softness of fabrics. It can also make fabrics feel plump, wrinkle resistant and more durable qualitatively. Silicone oil is also widely used in yarn lubrication to reduce the heating of needles during high-speed sewing, reduce high-speed sewing operations and reduce thread breakage.


Electronic and electrical: silicon oil has excellent electrical performance, good insulation performance and less dielectric loss. It is especially suitable for insulating oil of power transformer to improve the reliability of transformer.


Other industries: in the automotive industry and aviation industry, silicone oil is also used as hydraulic oil, damping oil, brake oil, etc. in some high-temperature occasions, silicone oil is also used as heat transfer oil.
