Methyl silicone oil

It may be helpful to express the change of viscosity of a silicone oil in a different manner. If we compare a typical silicone oil with a standard hydrocarbon oil of viscosity index 100, the two having the same viscosity at 100° F., we find that after cooling to —35° F. the silicone oil has seven times the viscosity it had, whereas the hydrocarbon oil has increased 1,800-fold in viscosity. This relative constancy of viscosity of the silicone oil makes it particularly suitable for use as a fluid in hydraulic systems for the transmission of power. Silicone oils do not react with the common metals of construction, and they are so inert that even at 300° F. they do not discolor r become acid or form sludge. They are satisfactory lubricants in hydraulic pumps and in any other device where conditions of hydrodynamic lubrication prevail. When used as lubricants, methyl silicone oils do not suffer loss of viscosity through shear breakdown under continuous load at high speed. 

Although the methyl silicone oils are soluble in benzene and in the lighter hydrocarbons, they are only partially soluble in alcohol and in the heavy hydrocarbons. The relative insolubility in petroleum lubricating oil may be the reason for the success of silicone oils in suppressing foam in certain engine oils at the limit of solubility the silicone may set up a high local concentration at the oil-air interface and so exercise a surface-active effect. Whatever the mechanism, a very... 

The methyl silicone oils also are insoluble in natural and synthetic rubber and hence do not swell rubber compositions. Electrically they are found to have very low dielectric losses the power factor of a typical sample was found to be about 0.0001 at 12 megacycles and to be quite constant with frequency and with temperature. Some related methyl phenyl, ethyl phenyl, and ethylsiloxane liquid polymers are recommended as dielectric media for transformers and capacitors.16... 

It is necessary that the discussion be confined to those organosilicon products which, on the basis of available information, show the greatest promise of widespread use. This would seem to mean the methyl, ethyl, and various alkyl-aryl silicone resins, methyl silicone oils and elastomers, and the methylchlorosilanes for water-repellent films. 

The simplest silicones are the methyl silicones. These substances exist as oils, resins, and elastomers (rubberdike substances). Methyl silicone oil consists of long molecules, each of which is a silicon-oxygen chain with methyl groups attached to the silicon atoms. A short siii cone molecule would have the following structure ...

A Hewlett-Packard Model 5880 chromatograph with a flame-ionization detector (FID) was used following a previously described procedure (16). Samples were made by dissolving about 0.5 ml of neat shale oil in 2 ml of CS2. A Quadrex fused-silica column (0.23 mm i.d. by 50 m) coated with SP2100 (methyl silicone oil) was used. The temperature was programmed from 60°C to 275°C at the rate of 4°C/min and held at 275°C for 30 min. 

Methyl silicone oils and waxes have found the widest application as partitioning stationary phases, although other substituted silicones such as phenyl, cyano, and particularly fluoroalkyl have also been favoured. 

Component Separation and Identification. Hewlett Packard 5830A and 5840A gas chromatographs fitted with glass, fused silica, or stainless steel capillary columns of various Inside diameters were used for separation of the volatiles fractions. Effluent splitters were used on occasion to permit gc effluent sniffing. Methyl silicone oil was the stationary phase of choice for most of the work, although Tween 20 and Carbowax 20M were used occasionally.

In a multicomponent system there can often be several solid phases or several liquid phases at equilibrium. For example, if one equilibrates mercury, a mineral oil, a methyl silicone oil, water, benzyl alcohol, and a perfluoro compound such as perfluoro (A-ethyl piperidine) at room temperature, one can obtain six coexisting liquid phases. Each of these phases consists of a large amount of one substance with small amounts of the other substances dissolved in it. Under ordinary conditions, a system can exhibit only a single gas phase. However, if certain gaseous mixtures are brought to supercritical temperatures and pressures, where the distinction between gas and liquid disappears, two fluid phases can form without first making a gas-liquid phase transition. 

Lubricants are often used as purpose to decrease the friction force during WPCs manufacturing process. The main kinds of lubricants are fatty acids, fatty acid esters, hydrocarbon (wax), methyl silicone oil, and metallic soaps. The addition level of such additives are usually between 1 and 2 % by weight of WPCs. Moreover, in order to enrich the colors of WPCs and then expand their applications, some colorants, both organic and inorganic are also used. As an example, Accel Company has been supplying the colorants for WPCs for almost 15 years. 

Finally, though it has so far found little industrial use, bouncing putty is worth a mention if only on account of its entertainment value. It is made by heating to ca.200° a methyl silicone oil with about 5% of its weight of boric oxide and an inert filler. It slowly flows under its own weight, like a liquid, but bounces very well when formed into a ball and thrown at a hard surface. A very sharp blow can fracture a ball of bouncing putty.

An important group of polysiloxanes that is used in the medical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries are polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS). Polydimethylsiloxane molecules consist of two functional groups [R Si-Oj, where R represents a methyl group. Polydimethylsiloxanes used in those fields are either linear (methyl silicon oils) or cyclic molecules (Figure 16.1) [9-12]. The cyclic PDMS include hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D3), octamethyl-cyclotetrasiloxane (OMCTS, D4), decamethylcyclopen-tasiloxane (D5), and dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane (D6). A scheme for the classification of linear and cyclic...
