Application
- Release material: Used alone or as part of a compounded formula, it provides a non-carbonising mould release for rubber, plastics, and metal die castings.
- Foam preventitive: Extremely small amounts of the fluid effectively control foam in many processing operations, especially in non-aqueous systems.
- Mechanical fluid: Excellent viscosity-temperature characteristics, thermal and chemical stability, shear-breakdown resistance, compressibility, and rubber compatibility make it outstanding for mechanical/hydraulic uses. Typical uses include hydraulic stabilisers, damping media.
- Surface-active material: Added to vinyl plastisols, it improves the flow characteristics, de-aerates and lubricates the surface of the completed part.
- Lubricant: The fluid provides excellent lubrication for most plastic and elastomeric surfaces. Lubricity with metals depends upon the combination involved. Care should be taken to select suitable metals for pumps and other items with moving parts.
- Cosmetics and skin preparations: It is an important ingredient in hand creams, skin protectants, suntan lotions, and hair grooming aids because it forms a non-greasy, protective film which resists water and waterborne irritants, yet allows the skin to breathe.
- Polishes and chemical specialties: It is used in most automobile and furniture polishes for its ease of application, high gloss with minimum rubbing, and a durable water-repellent film. It is also used in many other specialty formulations, including aerosol starches and fabric conditioners.
- Electrical/electronic equipment: With excellent dielectric properties, it can be used for both insulating and damping applications.
- Lubricate for medical, food, chemical, coating and industrial trade.
Product safety information
It is sensitive to contamination by acids, bases, and Louis acids which may cause degradation and volatilization, especially when temperatures elevated. Low concentration of acids or bases contamination or exposed to high temperatures under long-term may cause an increase in fluid viscosity or even cross-linking.
Storage
Store at normal temperature in original, unopened containers, avoid contact with acids and bases.
