What is the difference between methyl silicone oil and vinyl silicone oil?
Performance characteristics
Methyl silicone oil: colorless, odorless, non-volatile, insoluble in water and ethylene glycol, miscible with benzene, methyl ethyl ketone or kerosene. It has good heat resistance, electrical insulation, weather resistance, hydrophobicity, physiological inertness and small surface tension, as well as low viscosity-temperature coefficient and high compression resistance.
Vinyl silicone oil: colorless, odorless, non-toxic, non-volatile, insoluble in water, miscible with benzene, dimethyl ether, methyl ethyl ketone, carbon tetrachloride or kerosene, slightly soluble in acetone and ethanol. In addition to some basic characteristics of methyl silicone oil, due to the vinyl groups at both ends of the molecular chain, it has high reactivity and can react with chemical substances containing active hydrogen groups and other active groups under the action of catalysts.
Application fields
Methyl silicone oil: widely used in electronic appliances, building materials, motor manufacturing, transportation, petrochemicals, textiles, printing and dyeing and other fields. For example, it is used as a long-lasting release agent in the molding and processing of plastics and rubber and in food production; it is used as a high-temperature resistant dielectric liquid in the electrical and electronic industries; it is widely used as a heat carrier and high-efficiency defoaming agent in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and other sectors.
Vinyl silicone oil: It is the main raw material for addition-type liquid silicone rubber, silicone gel, etc. It is often used to enhance and modify silicone rubber in the silicone rubber industry, and as a base rubber for liquid processing silicone rubber. It can also be used as a modifier, plastic additive, reinforcement material, etc. for mixed rubber, and is also used to make liquid fillers, drug carriers, etc. It is used as an additive in cosmetics to improve the stability, uniformity and comfort of cosmetics.
