SILICONE OILS Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Silicone Oils are high-performance lubricants and fluids formulated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and other silicone compounds, providing excellent thermal stability, low surface tension, and water repellency. They are used in various industrial and consumer applications, including automotive, electrical, and mechanical systems. Silicone Oils are commonly used as lubricants, release agents, and anti-foaming agents in manufacturing processes. In the cosmetics and personal care industry, they are used in the formulation of skin and hair care products, providing smoothness, shine, and conditioning properties. Silicone Oils are also employed in the automotive industry as components in lubricants, polishes, and hydraulic fluids. Their versatility and effectiveness make them valuable chemicals in numerous applications, although proper handling and storage are essential to maintain their quality and performance. Silicone Oils are generally non-toxic and environmentally friendly, making them a preferred choice for various industries.
