General description

Silicone oil is a liquid based siloxane that is part of the methyl silicone fluid system. It has a viscosity of 350 cSt with a refractive index of ~ 1.402 and a dielectric strength of ~ 14 kV/mm. It′s surface tension tends to increase with an increase in the viscosity.

Application

Silicone oil can be used for a variety of applications such as: heat transferring medium in chemical and petrochemical industries, a dielectric coolant, a lubricant and antiflatulent agent, protective coatings for building materials, a cosmetic additive.
