Silicone oil, as a linear organopolysiloxane with different viscosities and a Si-O-Si main chain, appears as an oily liquid at room temperature. Its pliable molecular chain gives silicone oil many unique properties, making it widely used in many fields.

In the cosmetics industry, silicone oil is widely used for its high moisture resistance, smooth texture and non-greasy feel. It is often found in skin care and hair care products such as moisturizers, serums, shampoos and conditioners, which helps to moisturize, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and control oil production.


In the construction industry, silicone oil is used as a sealant and waterproofing agent due to its high temperature resistance, flexibility and weather resistance. It is often used to seal roofs, foundations and windows, and provide a waterproof barrier for bathrooms and kitchens. In addition, silicone oil can also be used as a release agent for concrete products to prevent adhesion to molds and formwork.

In the plastics industry, silicone oil acts as a plasticizer and lubricant, which helps to improve the processing and flow characteristics of plastic materials, reduce friction and wear during processing, and extend the service life of equipment and machinery. At the same time, it can also be added to plastic products to improve their physical properties, such as flexibility and weather resistance.

Silicone oil is often used as a homogenizing agent in polyurethane foaming systems. It can promote the formation of bubble nuclei in the early stage of foaming, adjust the pore structure, improve the compatibility of the various components of the raw materials, effectively eliminate the bean holes on the foam surface, and improve the surface properties.

In addition, silicone oil is used as a food-grade lubricant and release agent in the food industry for food packaging and processing equipment to prevent food from sticking and improve material flow. In the electrical and electronic industry, silicone oil has become an excellent electrical insulation material due to its high and low temperature resistance, good viscosity and dielectric properties. In the machinery industry, silicone oil is used for mechanical operation, bearings, etc. under high and low temperature conditions, as well as shockproof oil for various instruments and instruments.

In general, silicone oil plays an important role in many fields with its unique properties and has broad application prospects.
