The widespread application of dimethyl silicone oil in many fields is well-known. Today, we will focus on uncovering the unique role that dimethyl silicone oil plays in the fields of coatings and plastics.
With its unique surface properties, dimethyl silicone oil can achieve many remarkable effects by adding extremely small amounts of it to coatings and inks.
 On the one hand, it can effectively prevent the occurrence of uneven colors, help the coating to stretch better, and make the coating surface present a uniform and consistent state, greatly increasing the brightness and making the touch smoother.
 On the other hand, high viscosity methyl silicone oil also plays an important role as a defoamer for coatings.
 However, it should be noted that improper use or inaccurate control of dosage may have the opposite effect.
 This is because coatings with added silicone oil have poor compatibility with other ordinary coatings and are not suitable for arbitrary mixing and blending.
 Normally, the amount of silicone oil added to coatings needs to be precisely controlled within the range of 0.01% to 0.5%.
When methyl silicone oil is integrated into thermoplastic resins, plastics seem to be endowed with new vitality, and a series of excellent characteristics emerge.
 Firstly, it significantly optimizes the demolding performance of plastics, acting as an excellent internal demoulding agent, allowing plastic products to easily detach from the mold after molding.
 Secondly, it greatly improves the dispersion of inorganic fillers in the resin, enhancing the fluidity of the resin and improving the surface lubricity and wear resistance of the product.
 Nowadays, POM, PA, HIPS, ABS and other resins with added methyl silicone oil have shown great potential in various industries and are widely used in the manufacturing of plastic parts with high wear resistance and lubrication requirements, such as gears in office automation (OA) equipment, which are typical representatives.
In addition, the use of dimethyl silicone oil goes far beyond this, as it can also serve as a high-quality additive for many other materials.
 For example, as a brightening agent in paint, only a small amount of silicone oil needs to be added, and the paint will not have defects such as floating or wrinkling, and the brightness of the paint film will be significantly improved;
 Adding a small amount of silicone oil to the ink will improve the printing quality;
 If a small amount of silicone oil is added to polishing oil (such as car polish), it can not only make the surface of the object bright and eye-catching, but also provide comprehensive protection for the paint film, and the waterproof effect can be called first-class.
 In summary, the outstanding performance of dimethyl silicone oil in various fields such as coatings and plastics has made it an indispensable key material in modern industrial production.
