As a multifunctional additive, silicone oil plays an important role in the coatings, inks and plastics industries.

Application of coatings and inks

Improve coating properties: Adding a small amount of dimethyl silicone oil can prevent color unevenness and make the coating surface more uniform and smooth.

Increase brightness: The addition of silicone oil helps to improve the brightness and gloss of the coating.

Defoaming effect: High viscosity dimethyl silicone oil can be used as a defoaming agent to improve the stability of the coating.

Compatibility issues: Silicone oil may not be compatible with other coatings and should not be mixed casually.

Addition amount: The recommended addition amount of silicone oil is between 0.01% and 0.5%.

Application of silicone oil in plastics industry

Mold release: Dimethyl silicone oil is used as an internal mold release agent to improve the mold release of plastics.

Dispersibility: Silicone oil can improve the dispersibility of inorganic fillers in the resin and ensure uniform mixing.

Fluidity: The addition of silicone oil improves the fluidity of the resin and facilitates processing and molding.

Surface properties: Improve the lubricity and wear resistance of product surface.

Application of silicone oil in certain plastic resins

POMPA, HIPS, ABS: These resins with dimethyl silicone oil added are widely used to make wear-resistant and lubricating plastic parts.

Application of silicone oil in agricultural films

Light stability: In low-pressure polyethylene agricultural film, dimethyl silicone oil is used in combination with a dispersed hindered amine or hindered phenol light stabilizer system to reduce the amount of light stabilizer used and improve light resistance.

Strength improvement: The addition of silicone oil improves the strength of the film.

Light transmittance: Improves the transmittance of ultraviolet light in the short-wavelength range where plant growth is effective.
