First. Characteristics
Dimethicone oil, also known as dimethicone, has remarkable characteristics. First of all, it is a colorless, odorless, and non-toxic silicone compound with a high degree of stability and ability to maintain its properties at high temperatures, low temperatures, and chemical environments. Secondly, dimethicone has low surface tension and good lubricity, which quickly covers the surface and forms a thin and uniform coating. In addition, it has good resistance to high temperatures, cold, chemicals, aging, and non-volatile and non-conductive.
Two. Character:
Dimethicone oil is a colorless transparent oily liquid, with stable chemical properties, strong hydrophobicity, insoluble in water, but soluble in gasoline, toluene and other non-polar solvents.
Three. Use
1. Cosmetics and personal care products: Due to their good lubricity and smoothness, they can be used as a basic ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products.
2. Pharmaceuticals and medical devices: In the manufacturing process of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, dimethicone oil can be used as a diluent, solvent and lubricant for pharmaceutical products, as well as lubrication and corrosion protection of medical devices.
3.Lubricants: In the machinery industry, dimethicone oil is used as a lubricant to reduce friction and wear and extend the life of the machine.
4.Automotive industry: used in engine oils and lubricants, in the manufacture of tires, seals and rubber products to improve their wear resistance and aging resistance.
5.Electronics industry: used as an encapsulation material for electronic components, providing protection and insulation.
6.Construction and building materials: used as a water repellent and moisture repellent, in the manufacture of coatings, adhesives and sealants.
7.Food industry: used as a food additive, providing lubrication and anti-stick functions.
Fourth, the identification method
Identify the quality of dimethicone oil, can use oil flow observation method, light method, hand twist method and oil drop trace method and other methods. Through these methods, the flow of the oil, the state of the oil droplets, the lubricity and the content of impurities can be observed to determine its quality.
