Silicone Fluid is a versatile class of organosilicon compounds composed of a silicon-oxygen backbone (Si–O–Si) with organic side chains such as methyl, phenyl, or hydrogen groups. Its unique molecular structure provides exceptional stability, lubricity, and surface activity unmatched by conventional organic oils. Silicone fluids are clear, odorless, thermally stable liquids that resist oxidation, moisture, and extreme temperatures, making them indispensable in industrial, chemical, cosmetic, and automotive applications.

Our product range includes Dimethyl Silicone Oil, Modified Silicone Oil, Silane Coupling Agent, Paint Additive, Silicone Cosmetic Fluid, Heat Transfer Fluid, Vacuum Pump Oil, Hydrogen Silicone Oil, and Car Care Silicone Fluid, among others. Together, they serve as performance enhancers across countless processes and formulations.

Chemical Structure and Core Characteristics

Silicone fluid is built on a polysiloxane chain—a flexible structure that alternates silicon and oxygen atoms with organic side groups attached to the silicon. This configuration gives the fluid:

• Wide temperature stability: maintains viscosity from -60°C to +250°C.

• Low surface tension: spreads evenly on most materials, enabling lubrication and water repellency.

• Chemical inertness: resists oxidation, hydrolysis, and biological degradation.

• Excellent dielectric strength: ideal for electrical insulation.

• Transparency and non-toxicity: essential for cosmetic and food-contact formulations.

Unlike mineral oils, silicone fluids do not carbonize easily, evaporate slowly, and remain stable over long service periods.

Handling and Safety Considerations

Although silicone fluid is chemically stable and non-hazardous, correct handling ensures performance and longevity.

• Storage: Keep sealed in clean, dry containers away from acids, alkalis, or strong oxidizers.

• Temperature: Avoid prolonged exposure above 300°C unless the product is specifically designed for high-temperature use.

• Contamination Control: Prevent contact with moisture or reactive agents, especially for hydrogen silicone oil.

• Compatibility: Test with elastomers and plastics to avoid swelling or softening in sensitive materials.

• Environmental Safety: Non-toxic and low in VOCs, but disposal should follow local environmental regulations.

• Personal Safety: Use gloves and eye protection in industrial handling; ventilation is recommended for high-temperature applications.

Packaging and Storage Stability

• Standard packaging: 200 kg drums, 16kg, 20 kg pails, or other specifications.

• Shelf life: Typically 24 months when stored in original, unopened containers.

• Color and purity control: Products remain clear, colorless, and free from suspended matter when properly sealed.

• Re-dispersion: For modified or emulsified versions, gentle mixing restores homogeneity before use.
