At NINGBO DONGBO NEW ENERGY CO., LTD., we believe in empowering our clients with a deep understanding of the materials we provide. This overview delves into the fundamental properties of our 1000 cSt Silicone Oil, a highly versatile polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fluid. Understanding its chemical nature and physical characteristics is key to unlocking its full potential across various sectors.

Silicone oil, particularly dimethicone, is a polymer composed of repeating siloxane units, characterized by the presence of methyl groups attached to silicon atoms. Our 1000 cSt grade specifically refers to its kinematic viscosity, measured in centistokes. This viscosity level indicates a medium-thick fluidity, which is crucial for many of its applications. Unlike many organic oils, silicone oils exhibit excellent thermal stability, meaning they resist degradation at high temperatures. They also possess low volatility, good dielectric properties, and resistance to oxidation and UV radiation.

The structure of PDMS, with its flexible siloxane backbone and hydrophobic methyl groups, gives rise to its unique properties. These include a low surface tension, which allows it to spread easily and wet surfaces effectively. This wetting capability is beneficial in cosmetic applications for even application and in industrial uses for lubrication and coating. The inert and non-toxic nature of this dimethyl silicone oil further broadens its applicability, making it safe for use in products that come into contact with skin, hair, and even in certain food-related applications where regulations permit.

The 1000 cSt viscosity level positions this silicone oil as a highly adaptable ingredient. In cosmetics, it provides slip, emolliency, and a smooth feel without greasiness, making it ideal for premium formulations. Industrially, it serves as an effective lubricant, damping fluid, and heat transfer medium, where its thermal stability and lubricity are paramount. Its chemical auxiliary agent properties also make it useful as a defoamer or a plasticizer in various manufacturing processes.

NINGBO DONGBO NEW ENERGY CO., LTD. is dedicated to supplying materials of the highest purity and consistency. Our 1000 cSt Silicone Oil is manufactured under stringent quality control measures to ensure it meets the demanding requirements of our diverse clientele. By understanding the science behind this remarkable material, businesses can confidently leverage its unique properties to develop innovative and high-performing products.
