Speaking of silicone oil, probably the first thing most people think of is shampoo. Most domestic shampoo contains one or more kinds of silicone oil.From individual manufacturers in the beginning of the sale of silicon-free shampoo, consumers began to accept the use of silicone oil containing shampoo, clogging pores, hair loss, and even cause cancer, silicone oil with a bad reputation into the public view.

    In fact, silicone oil is not only a shampoo, it has penetrated into all aspects of life, you know, silicon, what is silicone oil?

    In general, silicone oil refers to linear polysiloxane, which is liquid at room temperature.This is a generic term for a large class of products.Chemically, most silicone oils are structured

    The main results are as follows: hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, phenyl and chlorobenzene are the common R groups.The difference of R groups will directly affect the performance of silicone oil and its range of use. 

    Silicone oil is used as a lubricating liquid

    Dimethylsilicone oil and low phenyl silicone oil for rubber and plastic lubrication, good low temperature and chemical inertia, can be used for plastic gear, plastic bearings, sealing ring rubber, refrigeration equipment valves, instruments and meters of lubrication;The phenyl silicone oil can be used for the lubrication of rolling bearings, clocks and small precision instruments at higher temperatures;High phenyl silicone oil can be used for high temperature and more stable places, such as conveyor belt, locking pin and boiler door lubrication.

    Silicone oil is used as hydraulic oil

    Hydraulic transmission uses liquid pressure to convert energy. Hydraulic transmission technology simplifies the size of equipment, reduces the quality of transmission mechanism and improves the operation efficiency.Sensitivity and smoothness and other advantages.In the GB/ T7631.2-1987 is divided into HH, HL, HM, HR, HG and other models of hydraulic oil, can be used for different working pressure, working temperature and operating environment.From the manufacturing industry of various types of hydraulic systems, to excavators, cranes and other large mobile hydraulic equipment, commonly known as the cylinder and the use of hydraulic oil can be seen everywhere, the daily use of automotive hydraulic power steering system has to use hydraulic oil.

Silicone oil grease

    The silicone oil grease can be used for rolling bearing and sealing operation under high temperature, high speed and long time.Low phenyl silicone oil - lithium soap grease can be used for instruments, small motor bearings;Phenyl silicone oil - lithium soap grease can be used in textile, glass and other industries with high temperature of some ball bearings;High phenyl silicone oil - carbon black grease can be used for slow speed rolling bearings, the use of temperature can reach 350℃ in a short time is no problem.

    There are many areas of use of silicone oil, with the development of science and technology there will be more silicone oil was invented and promoted to use, but we do not know these things are also silicone oil or the use of silicone oil.
