Silicone oil has many remarkable advantages in lubrication in the industrial field.
Firstly, it has excellent thermal stability. Silicone oil can maintain stable lubrication performance within a wide temperature range. Whether in high-temperature environments or low-temperature conditions, it can effectively play a role. It can withstand temperatures up to 200°C or even higher without decomposing and will not solidify at low temperatures, ensuring the normal operation of equipment under various extreme temperature conditions.
Secondly, it has good chemical stability. Silicone oil is not easily reactive with most chemicals and can resist the erosion of acids, alkalis, oxidants, etc., making it reliable for lubrication in various complex industrial environments and prolonging the service life of equipment.
Moreover, it has low surface tension. This enables silicone oil to spread well on metal surfaces and form a uniform lubricating film, reducing friction and wear.
At the same time, its low volatility also ensures the durability of the lubrication effect. In addition, it has good electrical insulation performance. For some equipment that needs to work in an electrical environment, silicone oil can not only play a lubricating role but also not affect electrical performance, ensuring the safe operation of equipment.
Finally, it is non-toxic, odorless, and environmentally friendly. Silicone oil is relatively friendly to humans and the environment and meets the environmental protection requirements of modern industry.
