SILICONE OIL 1000

Introduction:

Silicone Oil 1000 is a 1000 centistoke polydimethylsiloxane silicone oil.

Uses:

• Release agent. Used purely or as a part of a compounded formula silicone 1000 provides a non-toxic, noncarbonising mould release for rubber, plastics and metal die-castings.

 • Anti-foam agent. Very small quantities of the fluid are very effective as a foam control agent, especially in non-aqueous systems.

• Mechanical fluid. The very high viscosity-index, the thermal and chemical stability, shear-breakdown resistance and the rubber compatibility as well as the compressibility make this fluid outstanding for mechanical and hydraulic uses.

• Lubricant. The fluid provides excellent lubricating properties for most plastic and elastomeric surfaces. Lubricity with metals depends upon the possible combinations such as P.T.F.E., MoS2 and other lubricity improvers.

 • In polishes and chemical specialties. Silicone oil is used in most automobile and furniture polishes for its ease of application, high gloss with a minimum rubbing and durable water repellent film.

• In electrical and electronic equipment. Because of the excellent dielectric properties silicone oil is widely used as an insulating and damping fluid.
