Silicone oil, sometimes called "icing oil", is a petroleum jelly like material that is commonly used in industrial lubrication applications. It is made out of silicone oil and water or a combination of both and it's most common use is as an additive to industrial lubricants and polydimethylsiloxane. In this article we'll take a closer look at some of the commercial silicone oil uses.
First let's cover the common commercial silicone oil uses including how it can be added to products and what it's most common use is for lubricants. But before we get into that let's first look at how it works and what it's best used for. Silicone oil lubricants have a number of qualities that make them highly useful. They include:
* They are low cost and relatively easy to make. Silicone oil is a natural compound derived from crude oil that undergoes a process called "reaction with silicon". In this reaction the phenyl silicone oil separates from the crude oil at very high temperatures and that separation provides a solid barrier that prevents the crude oil from moving or changing state. In order for it to perform its best it must remain rigid and resistant to change so it can maintain the thickness and rigidity that makes it useful in this industry.
* It can help lubricants in dry heat loads. A common problem for most grease forming equipment in a dry heat environment is that it becomes hard to handle because the surface tension of silicone oil may pull it away from the fittings. When this happens the flow resistance in the lines of the equipment can become significant making them less reliable. One application that would benefit from a silicone oil lubricant is in the case of Ioco convertershow.
* Silicone oil may reduce the risk of nerve damage during impact of rotating parts or in high velocity impacts. An example of this would be a truck tire that gets punctured during a collision. The amount of silicone oil present in the tire will have a direct effect on the amount of friction that is felt by the metal parts of the tire. This may also reduce the amount of internal pressure felt by the eyeballs of truck drivers when they have to make quick tire changes. These are some of the uses that people put these lubricants to and they are only limited by one's imagination.
* Silicone oil can help prevent the degradation of boron nitride or cadmium. Both materials are sensitive to changes in the environment and tend to degrade quickly. By using a lubricant such as silicone oil, it allows the materials to have a longer useful life. One use for a silicone oil based lubricant in Ioco Convertershow is in the case of Ioco converters. An Ioco converter is used as a booster for the nitride engine. This conversion kit serves two important functions: it reduces weight and extends the usable life of the nitride engine.
