Silicone oils provide a lot of unique properties such as thermal stability, wide operational temperature range, a very high viscosity index, low surface tension and chemical inertness to list only a few of them.
They are used e.g. as lubricants, damping oils, hydraulic oils, heat transfer oils and additives in plastics. Nearly all branches of industries use them, e.g. cosmetic, pharmaceutical, textile, food, glass, wood, metalworking industry and many more.
