In modern industry and daily life, there is a material quietly playing a crucial role, and it is dimethyl silicone oil. This seemingly ordinary substance, with its unique properties, shows extraordinary value in numerous fields.

The "Lubricant" in the Industrial Field

In industrial production, lubricating oil is essential for the normal operation of equipment. Take the lubricating oil system of an electric pump as an example. The generation of foam has always been a thorny problem. Foam not only reduces the lubrication effect, leading to waste of oil products and machine wear, but also seriously affects the normal operation of equipment. As a highly efficient defoaming agent, dimethyl silicone oil successfully solves this problem. It has a low surface energy and small surface tension, which can effectively inhibit the generation of foam. It can also quickly adsorb on the surface of the foam and promote its rupture, thus greatly extending the service life of the oil products and reducing the wear of the machine. In addition, dimethyl silicone oil has excellent lubrication performance, which can reduce the friction and wear between metal parts, lower the operating noise and energy consumption of the equipment, and at the same time form a protective film on the surface of the equipment to prevent the equipment from being damaged by oxidation, corrosion, and pollution.

A "Good Helper" in the Medical Field

Dimethyl silicone oil also has a wide range of applications in the medical field. It is non - toxic and non - irritating to the skin and is often used in the preparation of pharmaceutical agents. It can be used as a water - repellent agent, anti - adhesive agent, lubricant, release agent, defoaming agent, and is also a component of the emulsion or cream matrix. In the treatment of flatulence, it has a good effect. Usually, it is taken 3 times a day, 0.1 - 0.2g each time. When rescuing acute pulmonary edema, it can also play a role in the form of an aerosol.

Broad Market Prospects

According to relevant statistics and forecasts, the global sales of dimethyl silicone oil market reached 30 million US dollars in 2023, and it is expected to reach 34 million US dollars in 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.4% (2024 - 2030). At the regional level, the Chinese market has changed rapidly in the past few years and is expected to occupy a more important position in the global market in the future. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the development of various industries, dimethyl silicone oil, with its unique properties, will be applied and expanded in more fields, and its market prospects are very broad.
