Silicone oils are primarily used as lubricants, thermic fluid oils or hydraulic fluids. Their temperature stability and good heat-transfer characteristics make them widely used in laboratories for heating baths (oil baths) placed on top of hotplate stirrers, as well as in freeze-dryers as refrigerants.
Applications :
silicones can withstand stress and temperature extremes, silicone adhesives and sealants are used to seal and protect doors, windows, wings, fuel tanks, hydraulic switches, overhead bins, wing edges, landing gear electrical devices, vent ducts, engine gaskets, electrical wires and black boxes.
