Silicon oil, also known as silicone fluid, is a clear, non-reactive, and thermally stable liquid lubricant. It is used in plastic processing to reduce surface tension, prevent sticking, and assist in smooth mold release. It is compatible with a wide range of polymer systems.
1.Is Silicon Oil safe for food-related plastic processing?
Yes, food-contact compliant versions are available for specific packaging needs.
2.How is it added to the production line?
It can be applied as a coating, sprayed, or metered into extruders or molds as needed.
3.Will it cause compatibility issues with other additives?
No. It is chemically inert and typically does not interfere with pigments, fillers, or stabilizers.
4.Can Silicon Oil help reduce machine maintenance?
Yes. By lowering friction and residue buildup, it reduces wear and downtime.
