Properties Analysis of Hydrophilic Silicone Oil

As the number of segments changes, molecular weight increases and viscosity increases, hydrophilic silicone oils can have various viscosities ranging from 0.65 centimeters to millions of centimeters. If low viscosity hydrophilic silicone oil is to be obtained, acidic clay can be used as a catalyst and the telomerization reaction can be carried out at 180°C, or sulfuric acid can be used as a catalyst and the telomerization reaction can be carried out at low temperature, which produces highly viscous hydrophilic silicone oils or sticky substances that can be alkaline.

1. Properties of hydrophilic silicone oil

Hydrophilic silicone oil has excellent heat resistance, electrical insulation, weather resistance, hydrophobicity, physiological inertness and small surface tension. In addition, it has a low temperature coefficient of viscosity and high resistance to compression. Some varieties also have radiation resistance properties.

Hydrophilic silicone oils are polyorganosiloxanes with different polymeric chain structures. A polycondensation ring is obtained by hydrolyzing dimethyldichlorosilane, a low ring body is obtained by cracking and rectification to obtain a ring body, and then the ring body, the initiator and the catalyst are put together to condense. Mixtures of different degrees of polymerization can be obtained by removing the waste under reduced pressure, resulting in hydrophilic silicone oil.

2. Properties of hydrophilic silicone oil

The most commonly used hydrophilic silicone oil machine groups are all methyl groups, which are called sinking machine hydrophilic silicone oil. The organic group can also replace a part of the methyl group with other organic groups to improve some properties of the hydrophilic silicone oil and be suitable for various uses. Other common groups are hydrogen, ethyl, phenyl, chlorophenyl, trifluoropropyl, etc.

Hydrophilic silicone oil is usually a colorless (or pale yellow), odorless, non-toxic, non-volatile liquid. Hydrophilic silicone oils are insoluble in water, methanol, ethylene glycol and ethoxyethanol. It is miscible with benzene, dimethyl ether, methyl ethyl ketone, carbon tetrachloride or kerosene. Slightly soluble in acetone, dioxane, ethanol and ethanol. It has a small vapor pressure, high flash and flash points, and a low freezing point.
