Silicone rubber oozing oil, also known as silicone oil, oozing agent or self-lubricant, is a special additive that allows silicone rubber to have self-penetrating oil properties. It is widely used in rubber, plastic, latex and other industries. Add it to silicone rubber and mix it evenly. After vulcanization, the oozing oil can slowly seep out from the inside of the silicone rubber and form an oil film on the surface of the product. This oil film not only gives the product a long-lasting and stable self-lubricating property, but also effectively improves the surface finish, reduces the surface friction coefficient, reduces adhesion, and improves dustproof performance.
The principle of the oozing oil is based on its special composition. Generally speaking, the oozing oil is composed of organic silicon compounds with a specific structure. These compounds have good compatibility with the silicone rubber matrix and have low surface tension. After vulcanization, they can migrate to the surface of the silicone rubber by virtue of the concentration difference, thereby continuously seeping out to form an oil film. Under normal circumstances, adding 5%-8% of the oozing oil can significantly improve the performance of silicone rubber. For example, in the manufacture of anti-slip gaskets, sealing gaskets, silicone rollers and other products, the use of glue oil can greatly enhance the practicality and durability of the products.
In the daily chemical industry, glue oil can be used in cosmetic formulas such as skin care creams, shower gels, shampoos, etc., bringing soft effects and silky feel. In the machinery, automobile, instrumentation, electronic and electrical industries, it can act as a high-grade lubricant, liquid spring, cutting fluid, buffer oil, transformer oil, etc., to meet the lubrication needs of different scenarios. In the textile and clothing industries, glue oil can be used as a softener, water repellent, feel improver, etc. to improve the quality of textiles. In addition, in the leather, medicine, food, chemical, coating, building materials and other industries, glue oil also has many uses, such as softener, defoamer, lubricant, weather-resistant coating, etc.
