Silicon Oils

Description

PACIFIC PURESIL Series is transparent, inert 100% Polydimethylsiloxane fluid available in a wide range of viscosities. Due to its chemical structure, it has stable characteristics over a wide temperature range and is used in board range of applications.

Applications

  • As a release agent
    Used purely or as a part of a compounded formula BRB Silicone oil provides a non-toxic, non-carbonising mould release for rubber, plastics and metal die-castings.
  • As an Anti-Foam agent
    Very small quantities of the fluid are very effective as a foam control agent, especially in non aqueous systems.
  • As a mechanical fluid
    The very high viscosity-index, the thermal and chemical stability, shear-breakdown resistance and the rubber compatibility as well as the compressibility make this fluid outstanding for mechanical and hydraulic uses.
  • As a lubricant
    The fluid provides excellent lubricating properties for most plastic and elastomeric surfaces. Lubricity with metals depends upon the possible combinations such as P.T.F.E., MoS2 and other lubricity improvers.
  • In polishes and chemical specialities
    Silicone oil is used in most automobile and furniture polishes for its ease of application, high gloss with a minimum rubbing and durable water repellent film.
  • In electrical and electronic equipment. Because of the excellent dielectric properties silicone oil is widely used as an insulating and damping fluid.

Instructions to Use

  • Little change in physical properties over a wide temperature range.
  • The fluid can be used from -40 °C to 280 °C.
  • Excellent water repellency.
  • Low surface tension. The fluid readily wets clean surfaces to impart water repellency and release characteristics.
  • Low toxicity.
