WHAT IS Silicone Oil

Silicone oil is commonly understood as linear polysiloxanes that remain liquid at room temperature. Usually, it is divided into two categories methyl silicone oil and modified silicone oil. The most widely used silicone oil is methyl silicone oil, also known as standard silicone oil. The organic groups of it are all methyl, Methyl silicone oil has good chemical stability, insulation, and good hydrophobic performance.It is obtained by hydrolysis of dimethyl dichlorosilane with water and subsequent initial polycondensation ring, ring cracking, distillation to obtain the low ring, then connecting the ring, head agent, and catalyst polymerization can be obtained a variety of different degrees of polymerization mixture, by vacuum distillation remove the low boiling substance.

What are the characteristics of Silicone Oil?

Viscosity

Different Silicone oils exhibit different viscosities, but all of these viscosities remain constant over a range of different temperatures. The viscosities of different silicone oils range from 0.7 to 2,000,000 cs.

Thermal Stability

Silicone oils are very stable and virtually show no change until the temperature of 250°C. This particular stability is due to the chemical bonding between silicon and oxygen in the linear chain.

Low Surface Tention

Silicone oil molecules can easily slide over each other which gives them the liberty to move smoothly and thus have a lower surface tension which is accompanied by high compressibility.

Other properties

Silicone oils are known to have higher dielectric strength which allows them to be used in several industries. Silicone oil can also bear heavy pressure and they are also resistant to hydrolysis and oxidation.

Types of Silicone Oil

Phenyl silicone oil
Phenyl silicone oil

Phenyl trimethicone is a colorless and transparent liquid with low viscosity, slightly volatile, high refractive index, and easy to compound with alcohol and organic ingredients. It has good anti-sticky properties and has the effect of increasing the solubility of silicone oil and other greases. Phenyl silicone oil can be used to brighten the gloss of the paste. Such raw materials include Dow Corning's DC556, Shin-Etsu's KF-56, Silok's SiCare-2556, and IOTA's IOTA D556.

Polyether modified silicone oil
Polyether modified silicone oil

This type of silicone oil is generally soluble in water, ethanol, and emulsifying systems, so it is suitable to be added to skin care water as an emollient, and as a softener in leave-in hair care products, such as Dow's DC193 and IOTA's IOTA 9919.

Silicone emulsion
Silicone emulsion

Silicone emulsions are generally added to shampoos as softeners. Suspending agents are generally added to prevent the precipitation of silicone oil and have good dry combing properties. For example, Dow's 1785 and 7137, it is generally recommended to mix high and low molecular weight emulsified silicone oils to achieve good results.

Amino silicone oil
Amino silicone oil

It provides good softness and repair damaged hair in hair care products. It is generally used in hair conditioners, hair masks, and ointments. For example, Dow's 949 is a cationic emulsion type amino silicone oil, which is easy to add and use. Pay attention to the discoloration of some amino silicone oils.

How to use Silicone Oil

1
Before applying silicone oil, the fabric must be cleaned and dried thoroughly. Any residue from previous treatments or finishes must be removed to ensure even application and maximum benefits from the silicone oil.

2
Silicone oil is usually supplied in concentrated form, so it must be diluted with a solvent to the desired concentration for use. Mix the silicone oil and solvent in a container, following the manufacturer's recommended proportions.

3
After applying the silicone oil, the fabric must be dried and cured. This process allows the solvent to evaporate and the silicone oil to bond with the fibers. The drying and curing temperature and time will depend on the type of solvent used, the concentration of the silicone oil, and the type of fabric.

4
Once the fabric is dried and cured, it can be processed through a finishing machine to improve its appearance, softness, and hand. This may include heat-setting, calendaring, or other processes to enhance the fabric's properties.

Characteristics of Silicone Oil

characteristics
High Molecular Weight

It is one of the very few materials which maintains a liquid consistency at such high molecular weight making it useful.

Stable Viscosity-Temperature profile

High molecular weight and the linear structure helps silicone oil maintain a constant or minor change in viscosity over a wide range of temperatures. This is one of the most important properties which makes it the best for various uses.

Thermal and Oxidative Stability

Silicone oil is semi-inorganic which makes it somewhat resistant to thermal degradation and oxidative degradation. While organic fluids are particularly prone to both kinds of degradations.

Doesn't absorb UV and X-Rays

Silicone oil is also used in the medical and healthcare industry so this property of inability to absorb UV and X-rays comes in handy while being used in medical settings.

Low Surface Tension

This property is of particular importance for its use in various industries.

Silicone Oil Manufacturing Process

round
01
Raw Material Preparation
The main raw material of silicone oil is dimethylsiloxane (D4), which is a colorless and transparent liquid. Before producing silicone oil, sufficient dimethylsiloxane needs to be prepared first.
round
02
Synthesis Reaction
During the production process of silicone oil, D4 enters the reactor with stabilizers, catalysts and other auxiliaries for mixing. Then, under certain temperature and pressure conditions, D4 is converted into silicone oil through polymerization reaction.
round
03
Separation and Purification
After the synthesis reaction, there may still be some unreacted impurities in the silicone oil produced, such as catalyst residues, stabilizers, etc. In order to obtain pure silicone oil products, a separation and purification process is required. Distillation, filtration, crystallization and other methods are usually used to remove impurities and improve the purity of silicone oil.
round
04
Adjust Product Performance
According to different application fields and needs, the performance of silicone oil needs to be adjusted. For example, the viscosity, fluidity, oxidation resistance and other properties of silicone oil can be changed by adding different additives.
round
05
Packaging and Storage
After the above steps, the production process of silicone oil is basically completed. Finally, silicone oil needs to be packaged and stored to ensure its quality and stability. It is usually packaged in iron drums, plastic drums and other containers and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high temperature environments.

How to: Remove Residual
Silicone Oils

The theory regarding the high heat is that many silicone oil residues have a softening point somewhere just below 77C and if you clean with a strong emulsifying solution at temperatures above the softening point, you can emulsify the difficult to clean silicone oils. Again, it is important to rinse with very hot water so that you do not break the emulsions that form and redeposit the silicone oil. If a cold or ambient temperature rinse is used, you can break the emulsion and redeposit the silicone oil. This may often been misunderstood as a failure of cleaning (“the detergent didn't work”), but in reality, the re-deposition is a failure to properly rinse. After the first rinse, the concentration of emulsion micelles will be below the critical micelle concentration. Thus, after a hot first rinse you do not necessarily need to use hot water to rinse with for the 2nd or 3rd rinses.
