Insulation properties of silicone oil
Silicone oil has excellent insulation properties, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects：
High breakdown voltage: The breakdown voltage of silicone oil is usually between 20~50kV/mm, which means that when the electric field strength reaches this range, the silicone oil can still maintain good insulation properties, effectively preventing current leakage and short circuit phenomenon.
High insulation resistance: The insulation resistance of silicone oil is usually greater than 10^12 Ω·m, which means that silicone oil has a high impedance in the electric field, which can effectively prevent the passage of current, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the equipment.
Low dielectric constant: The dielectric constant of silicone oil is relatively low, usually between 2 and 3.This makes the polarization of silicone oil in the electric field weaker, further enhancing its insulation properties.
Application areas of silicone oil
Because of its unique properties, silicone oil is widely used in many fields.：
Electrical and electronic industry: The high and low temperature resistance, good viscosity and dielectric properties of silicone oil make it an excellent electrical insulation material in the electrical and electronic industry.The silicone oil-filled transformer has the advantages of small size, high power, long life, and good electrical insulation performance.In addition, silicone oil can also be used in other electrical devices such as capacitors and cables.
Cosmetics industry: Silicone oil is also widely used in the cosmetics industry. For example, adding silicone oil to various skin care products can improve the wetting and expandability of cosmetics to the skin, and play a role in moisturizing and protecting the skin.At the same time, the smooth texture of silicone oil makes it an ideal ingredient for products designed to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Construction industry: Silicone oil is often used as a sealant and waterproofing agent in the construction industry. Its high temperature resistance, flexibility and weather resistance make it very suitable for use in various building materials and structures.In addition, silicone oil can also be used as a mold release agent in the production of concrete products.
Machinery industry: The unique high and low temperature resistance of silicone oil is even better, and it can be used for mechanical operation and bearings under high and low temperature conditions.At the same time, silicone oil has high compressibility, small viscosity and temperature coefficient, and is less affected by temperature. It can be used as shockproof oil for various instruments and instruments.
In addition, silicone oil can also be used in polishing agents, heat transfer oils, and homogenizers in polyurethane foaming systems.
Because of its excellent insulation properties and wide range of applications, silicone oil has an irreplaceable position in industrial production.
