Silicone oil, as a multifunctional lubricant, is widely used in demolding, anti-sticking, and smoothing processes. In industries such as rubber, plastic, metal casting, glass, paper, and fiber production, the use of silicone oil has a long history, and with the development of technology, its application scope and dosage continue to expand.

Classification and characteristics of silicone oil
High viscosity silicone oil: Provides excellent demolding and anti-adhesion performance while maintaining smooth surface treatment.
Low viscosity silicone oil: It has excellent coating properties and surface affinity, suitable for fine coating applications.

Typical applications of silicone oil
Dimethyl silicone oil: a commonly used silicone oil with a viscosity range typically between 0.1 and 30 Pa·s, which can balance demolding and coating performance.
Methyl phenyl silicone oil: In some specific applications, such as fiber production, it is favored for its thermal stability and low viscosity-temperature coefficient.

Formula and use of silicone oil
Silicone oil can not only be used alone, but also can be formulated into solutions, lotions, aerosols or creams to meet different industrial needs.

The Application of Silicone Oil in the Textile Industry
Oil for fiber and raw cotton: low-viscosity dimethyl silicone oil is widely used as an oil due to its temperature resistance and non-discoloring properties.
Spinning oil: a blend of antistatic agents, emulsifiers, and dimethyl silicone oil and methyl phenyl silicone oil, designed for use in the spinning process of synthetic fibers such as nylon, polyester, and spandex, effectively preventing wire breakage and loosening.

Application of silicone oil in metal casting
Mold release treatment: During the melt spinning process, dimethyl silicone oil is used for mold release treatment of the nozzle to prevent carbide or melt from adhering, thereby avoiding wire breakage.
