Why choose long-chain alkyl silicone oil when selecting silicone oils?
The answer lies in its groundbreaking molecular structure—replacing part of the methyl groups in traditional polydimethylsiloxane with alkyl chains containing more than 12 carbons. This modification allows it to break free from the performance limitations of conventional silicone oils. It retains inherent advantages such as high/low-temperature resistance and wettability, while unlocking five core competitive strengths, making it the preferred alternative to traditional silicone oils across multiple industries.

Choose it, first because it solves the “performance shortcomings” of traditional silicone oils.
Traditional silicone oil not smooth enough? Its long-chain alkyl structure greatly enhances smoothness and wear resistance. Used as a textile auxiliary, it upgrades fabric handfeel; added to lubricants, it significantly extends machinery service life. Conventional silicone oils have poor compatibility and tend to separate in formulations? This material is fully miscible with mineral oils and various other oils, giving the final formulation far superior stability compared to traditional silicone-oil systems, reducing rework and production trouble.

Choose it also because it solves “application challenges” that traditional silicone oils cannot.
Using release agents but worried about residue? When sprayed on metal, rubber-plastic, or polyurethane molds, products can be printed, colored, or bonded directly without cleaning—completely eliminating the rework losses caused by residues from traditional silicone oils. Using additives but concerned about poor compatibility? It blends perfectly with organic materials like rubber and plastics, serving both as an internal release agent that reduces molding defects and as a pigment dispersant that keeps colors uniform and prevents clumping—advantages traditional silicone oils simply cannot match. Even in beauty and personal care applications, its moisturizing and smoothing performance is superior, giving creams and shampoos a finer, more delicate texture.

What’s even more impressive is its broad applicability.
This transparent, colorless, odorless oily liquid—with a wide viscosity range of 100–5000 cP and a specific gravity of 0.850–1.0—fits diverse applications from cosmetics to industrial manufacturing. In cosmetics, it provides a smoother, fresher skin feel; in industrial settings, it works as a lubricant component or coating defoamer with higher efficiency; in rubber and plastics, it delivers both internal/external release and dispersion in one step, reducing cost while improving quality—one product, multiple functions.

Its cost-effectiveness further sets it apart:
As an additive, only 0.2%–5% is needed; as an external release agent, dilution to 2.5%–10% is sufficient—low dosage, strong performance. It is available in 5–50 kg polyethylene drum packaging as needed and can be stored and transported as a non-hazardous material, requiring only avoidance of strong acids/alkalis and attention to possible viscosity changes over long storage periods. Want to solve the performance pain points of traditional silicone oils, improve product quality, and lower production costs? Long-chain alkyl silicone oil is the choice you won’t need to hesitate about.
