Notes:
All data on this table are for comparative purposes.
The classes of fluids have a range of properties that
do not represent the performance of an actual fluid.
Values reported for fluids including the paraffin
hydrocarbon oil are without additives such as EP

Reported values are derived from kinematic viscosity measurements and correlate to
number average molecular weight. GPC Number average molecular weights for
dimethylsiloxanes have been related to polystyrene standards according to Pekala
(American Laboratory 15, 4 1983): log Mw PDMS/MwPST = 1.1813 + 0.0769V,
where V is retention volume.
All copolymer percentages are mole %; graft and block polymer percentages are
weight %.
Reported values for kinematic viscosities for homopolymer fluids are 10% for fluids
100,000 cSt and 15% for fluids>100,000 cSt. Reported viscosities for copolymer
fluids are 20%.
When not indicated, reported properties for silicone fluids are at 25C (298.15K).

SILICONE FLUIDS
Stable Inert Media
Silicone Fluids can be divided into six general classes:
The conventional fluids, also referred to as polydimethylsiloxanes, exhibit all the properties of the silicone family. The
other classes of fluids can be considered modifications of the
conventional fluids in which one set of properties has been
enhanced, but generally other properties are altered or
sacrificed.

Reactivity
While they exhibit low reactivity under many conditions, certain environments are destructive to silicone fluids. Hydrogen
fluoride, for example, attacks the silicon-oxygen bond to
produce dimethylsilyl fluorides and water, which generate
corrosive gases. Strong bases such as methanolic potassium
hydroxide destroy silicone fluids and create resinous
byproducts.
Thermal degradation at elevated temperatures causes
rearrangement of the silicon-oxygen bonds to product volatile
byproducts. Free-radical reaction of the methyl groups to form
cross-linked materials by oxidation with peroxy compounds
increases fluid viscosity and causes the fluid to gel.
Solubility of fluids
Methylene chloride, chlorofluorocarbons, ethyl ether, xylene
and methylethyl ketone are typical solvents for dimethylsilox-
Solubility of water
The equilibrium water absorption of silicones is 100-200ppm
at 50-85% relative humidity. Drying of fluids is recommended
for maximum performance in electrical applications.

Low Volatility
PolyDimethylsiloxanes
Volatile, low molecular weight components are present in
polydimethylsiloxanes as a consequence of the equilibrium
polymerization utilized in their manufacture. Typically, silicones with viscosities below 50 cSt. have >10% volatiles,
while those with viscosities greater than 50 cSt. have 0.5-4.0%
volatiles. Low molecular weight components can impart undesirable effects in certain critical applications. These include
outgassing, migration and, in contact with certain plastics and
rubbers, bleed, plasticization and stress-cracking.
Devolatilized silicones are offered in two classes. Reduced
Volatility Silicones have >90% low-molecular weight components removed and are generally acceptable for polymer contacting applications. Extreme Low Volatility Silicones have virtually zero volatiles and are suitable for extreme vacuum
applications including systems deployed in space exploration
and communication. An example of a space application is as a
damping fluid for solar panels.

Volatile Cyclic
PolyDimethylsiloxanes Cyclomethicones
Low molecular weight silicone that possess a cyclic structure
rather than a chain structure serve as volatile carriers for a
variety of formulations. Low heats of vaporization and the ability to select a desired vapor pressure has led to their use as
cosmetic vehicles. While most display a broad range of
liquid behavior, the most volatile cyclic dimethylsiloxane, D3,
is a solid at room temperature.

Silicone Emulsions
Silicone emulsions are easy-to-use, water-dilutable, fine particle dispersions of conventional polydimethylsiloxane fluids.
They are employed as release agents and lubricants in a variety of rubber and plastic applications including molding of
mechanical rubber parts such as O-rings and footwear, pro-
ducing shell molds and cores for metal casting, wire and
cable extrusion and conveyance devices in high-speed printing. They are usually diluted with water to a final solids concentration of 0.1-3.5% at the point of application.

allowing them to act as wetting and leveling agents in coating and ink
formulations. Aromatic substitution extends stability and compatibility of alkylsiloxanes.
Aryl-alkyl silicones exhibit an extended range of organic compatibility
and lubricity when compared to dimethyl silicones. They behave as
broad spectrum compatibilizing agents for silicone/hydrocarbon/fatty
acid formulations in the lubricant and cosmetic industries. They are
also used as lubricants for die cast metals such as zinc and aluminum and soft metals such as copper and bronze. The incorporation
of butylated aryloxypropyl units dramatically improves oxidation stability. Copolymers of this type are used as lubricants in sintered metal
bearings for fans and motors, hydraulic fluids and process fluids for
aluminum extrusions. Fluids with methyl and 2-phenylpropyl groups
maintain excellent release properties without interfering with
paintability, making them preferred in mold release agent formulations for rubber and plastics and die casting. Other uses for organic
compatible silicone fluids include surfactants for de-airing molded
urethane and epoxy parts during fabrication and die-cast metal
lubrication. Alkylsiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copolymers are readily
miscrible with many hydrocarbons, introducing silicone properties to
hydrocarbons. Smart fluids can be formulated with low viscosity
organic siloxanes such as Dicyclopentylsiloxane.

Fluorosilicone Fluids
Many advantages of fluorocarbons and silicones are combined in fluorosilicones. The materials are useful from -40
to 230C in a wide range of aggressive service environments.
They have achieved a number of unique applications due to
their chemical and solvent resistance to lubricity.
Fluorosilicones are not miscible with fuels or oils. They have
a solubility parameter of 9.6. They have been employed in
mechanical vacuum pumps where exposure to high
temperature moisture and oxygen is encountered.
The fluids are excellent lubricants under extreme pressure
applications. This characteristic, considered with resistance to
fuels has led to many automotive and aerospace lubrication
applications, since they are not easily leached by fuels from
mechanical joints. In addition, fluorosilicones, particularly
the copolymers, have been employed as lubricants for electrical contacts and precision timing devices. Greases formulated

Hydrophilic Silicones
Polyalkylene Oxide and Polar Silicones
Hydrophilic silicones differ from conventional silicones by demonstrating a much greater compatibility with aqueous systems. They
have slight to complete solubility in water. They are composed of
dimethylsiloxane molecular backbones in which some of the
methyl groups are replaced by polyalkylenoxy or pyrrolidone
groups linked through a propyl group to the silicone atom.
copolymer used as a lubricant in plastic on metal wear applications and as a lubricant for fibers. Anti-tack and mar resistance
are imparted to urethane coatings. High molecular weight copolymers, such as DBE-224, are excellent emulsifiers. DBE-821
reduces static charge generation during fiber processing. It has
also been incorporated into rolling oil formulations for metal
drawing and stamping. DBE-712 and DBP-732 provide slip in

Hydrophilic Silicones
Hydroxylic and Cationic Silicones
Strong polar and ionic interactions can be imparted by introducing hydroxyl groups
and quaternary ammonium groups into silicones. Hydroxyl and cationic groups
maximize the interaction of silicones with water and other aqueous solutions allowing
their use as emulsifiers and polyelectrolytes, respectively. Both classes of materials are
stable under conditions of neutral pH and moderate temperature, but sacrifice the
broad range of inert behavior typically associated with silicones. They are preferred
materials for aqueous formulations that demand not only the properties of silicones,
but compatibility with a wide range of other formulation components. Important
applications include anti-fogs and anti-stats.

Trisiloxane Fluids
Trisiloxane fluids are low viscosity materials that have unique wetting, surfactant and solvency characteristics. Their unusual characteristics
are derived from having a small cloud of silicone hydrophobic groups from which other functionalities extend. While they are considered polymeric
fluids, their stuctures are extremely well-defined in chemical terms since they are low molecular weight species. This table identifies the common
trisiloxane fluids. Further details are found in Gelest Silicon Compounds literature.
