Features: > Low surface tension: It readily wets clean surfaces to impart water repellency and release characteristics. > Low toxicity: Tests have shown that Silicone oil is essentially non-toxic and non-irritating (although temporary discomfort may result if rubbed into the eye). > It also exhibits oxidation resistance, heat stability, very low vapor pressure and high flash points. > It is insoluble in organic liquid > It is non-greasy, non-rancidifying and virtually odorless. Uses: > Silicone oil is suitable for a variety of application and for a wide range of products and processes. > As a release material: It is used along or as part of a compounded formula and provides an odorless, non-carbonizing and non-toxic mould release for rubber, plastics & metal die castings. > As foam preventive: Extremely small amount of the fluid effectively control foam in many procession operations, especially in non-aqueous systems. > As a mechanical fluid: High viscosity, temperature characteristics, therms and chemical stability, shear breakdown resistance, compressibility make Silicone Oil perfect for mechanical/hydraulic uses. It is mainly used in hydraulic stabilizers, damping mediums. > As surface-active material: Added vinyl plastisols and liquid springs, it improves the flow characteristics, de-aerates and lubricates the surface of the completed part. > As a lubricant: The fluid provides excellent lubrication for plastic and elastomeric surfaces. The cosmetics and skin preparations: It is an important ingredient in hard creams, skin protecting suntan lotions and hair grooming aids as it forms a non-greasy, protective film which resists water and waterborne irritants, yet allows the skin to breath. > In polishes and chemical specialties: It is used in most automobile and furniture polishes for its high gloss with minimum rubbing and a durable water repellent film. It is also used in many other specialty formulations such as aerosol starches and fabrics conditioners. > In electrical/electronic equipments: It is widely used for both insulating and damping applications. > In food processing: Non-contaminating and non-adulterating, it is suited to many food processing applications.

Typical Applications: industrial Operations: > Adhesives: Paper Coating Processes. > Agar: Paper Production Processes. > Asphalt: Petroleum Pitch. > Cutting Oils: Propane Gas. > Detergents & Soaps: Rubber Lattices. > Fermentation Processes: Resins & Varnishes. > Filtration Processes: Salt Solutions. > Gas Scrubbing: Steel-pickling Solutions. > Hot Aqueous Systems: Textile Processes. > Insecticides: Vacuum Distillations. > Oil Quench Baths: Wool Fats. > Polishes: Wire-drawing Compounds. how to Use: amount > Amount is Effective in Very Low Concentrations. 1 to 50 Gm per Ton of Foamer is Sufficient to Suppress Most Foam. > for Any New Industrial Application, the User May Start with a Concentration of 20 Gm per Ton, Then Increase or Decrease this Concentration Until Most Economical Use Level is Established. direct Application as Supplied: > It May Be Wiped On Process Equipment to Limit Foaming Level. > in Bottle Filling Machine, It is Applied to the Nozzles to Knock Down Foam as It Rises in the Neck of the Bottle. > Wiped On An Application On the Rim of Processing Vats Prevents Foam Overflows. > It May Be Wiped On a Screen Which is Then Suspended Over the Surface of the Foamer. > Whenever the Foam Rises Too High, It Contacts the Screen and is Broken. solvent Dispersion: > in Most Industrial Applications, It is Diluted with Solvent. > Then Added to Foamier; Dispersions May Be Made in Butyl Alcohol, Toluene, Xylem, Kerosene, Ethyl Ether, Chloroform and Many other Solvents. > Comparative Tests Using Different Diluents Should Be Run if It is Desirable to Determine the Most Suitable and Economical Diluent to Use for Any Particular Process or Product. > Freshly Prepared Dispersion Should Be Used for Maximum Efficiency.
