key features
Low Viscosity - KF-96A-6cs has a viscosity of only 6 mm²/s at 25°C, making it a low-viscosity silicone oil with excellent flowability. Its low viscosity allows for rapid dispersion and uniform coating in formulations, maintaining good ductility even at film thicknesses below 5 microns.
Thermal Stability - This product maintains its physical and chemical properties even at high temperatures, with a flash point greater than 150°C and a pour point as low as -60°C. After continuous heating at 100°C for 72 hours, the viscosity change is less than 5%. Its excellent thermal stability and durability make it suitable for long-term use in environments with significant temperature fluctuations.
Chemical Inertness - KF-96A-6cs has a specific gravity of 0.925 at 25°C and a refractive index of approximately 1.397, demonstrating its extremely stable structure. Experiments have shown that its properties remain virtually unaffected after storage in a 10% alkali solution or a 30% acid solution for 48 hours.
Low Volatility - The product's molecular structure results in an extremely low evaporation rate at high temperatures. Test data shows that after heating at 150°C for 24 hours, its weight loss is less than 0.2%. This ensures long-term stability and reduces performance degradation due to volatilization.
Low Surface Tension - KF-96A-6cs has a surface tension significantly lower than that of water and most organic solvents, at only 20-21 mN/m. This low surface tension results in excellent wetting and spreading properties, enabling it to form uniform coatings on substrates such as plastics, glass, and metal.
Cosmetics - KF-96A-6cs is widely used in cosmetics as an emollient in skincare lotions and foundations. Its low viscosity and low surface tension allow formulas to spread quickly on the skin, leaving a light, silky feel. Adding 1%-3% improves spreadability and moisturizing properties while reducing greasiness, thereby improving the overall skin feel.
Electronics - In the electronics industry, KF-96A-6cs is used for electrical insulation and heat dissipation. Its high volume resistivity of 10¹⁴ Ω·cm effectively prevents leakage and short circuits. Its excellent thermal stability allows it to maintain stable performance across an operating temperature range of -60°C to 150°C, ensuring long-term, reliable operation of electronic components.
Coatings and Inks - Its low surface tension makes it a valuable additive in the coatings and inks industries. Experiments have shown that adding 0.5%-1% KF-96A-6cs significantly improves coating leveling and anti-cratering properties, while also increasing gloss. Its excellent dispersibility ensures uniform coverage on metal and plastic substrates.
Automotive Industry - KF-96A-6cs is used in the automotive industry as a lubricant and surface treatment agent. In the production of automotive interior trim and weatherstrips, the addition of this silicone oil can reduce the coefficient of friction to below 0.15, effectively reducing wear and extending service life. Furthermore, it remains stable in high-temperature engine compartment environments, ensuring long-term protection.
Industrial Machinery - In the machining and manufacturing industries, KF-96A-6cs is commonly used as a release agent and lubricant. Its low surface tension and chemical inertness make it excellent for rubber, plastic, and metal mold molding. Experimental studies have shown that spraying this silicone oil on mold surfaces can extend mold life by 20%-30% and reduce molding defects by over 10%.
Chemical Processing - In the chemical industry, KF-96A-6cs is used as a defoamer and flow modifier in reaction systems. Due to its low viscosity and low surface tension, it diffuses rapidly across bubble interfaces, reducing surface tension and effectively breaking bubbles. In common polymerization reactions and fine chemical processes, the addition of 0.1%-0.5% KF-96A-6cs can significantly improve system stability.
