Chemical stability of silicone oil

High resistance:
Silicone oil exhibits high resistance to climate, ozone, and glow discharge due to the chemical inertness and lack of reactive groups in polyorganosiloxane, especially the absence of double bonds.
High stability:
Dimethyl silicone oil and methyl phenyl silicone oil exhibit stability at room temperature against water, air, oxygen, various metals, wood, paper, and plastics.
They can also resist the erosion of metal salt solutions, liquid hydrogen, and 3% hydrogen peroxide solutions, but may form explosive mixtures when in contact with concentrated hydrogen peroxide.
Decomposition at high temperature:
At high temperatures, silicone oil can be decomposed by strong inorganic acids (such as hydrofluoric acid), strong alkalis, and strong oxidants (such as concentrated nitric acid and chlorine gas).
Metal compatibility:
Metals such as copper, iron, nickel, aluminum, tin, silver, zinc, aluminum alloy and stainless steel have no negative effect on dimethicone.
High security:
Silicone oil has little effect on most plastics, showing high safety.
However, when rubber products come into contact with silicone oil, they may experience a reduction in quality and volume shrinkage due to the leaching of plasticizers and anti-aging agents.
