In production and daily life, many materials are like "fragile children"—they solidify when the temperature drops slightly, deform when the temperature rises a little, get damp when exposed to water, and deteriorate when in contact with chemicals, causing troubles for various industries. However, the emergence of IOTA Methyl Fluorosilicone Oil has completely changed this situation. With its "tough and durable" characteristics, it has become a "capable assistant" for multiple industries.
The "durability" of IOTA Methyl Fluorosilicone Oil stems from its special molecular structure. It is a modified polymer of organosilicon: the methyl groups at both ends of the molecule enhance its stability, while the trifluoropropyl groups on the side chains endow it with unique properties. This structure enables it to possess both the softness and smoothness of organosilicon and the stability and weather resistance of fluorides. For example, its high and low temperature resistance far exceeds that of ordinary materials: in the harsh cold of -50°C, it can still maintain good fluidity without solidifying due to low temperature; in a high-temperature environment of 200°C, it will not decompose or deform and can work stably for a long time. Even in an environment with frequent temperature changes, its performance remains unaffected.
In addition to temperature resistance, its other properties are also excellent. It has extremely low surface tension, allowing it to easily cover the surface of objects and form a uniform protective film, playing a role in waterproofing and moisture-proofing. For instance, applying it to metal surfaces can effectively isolate moisture in the air and prevent metal from rusting; coating it on electronic components can avoid short circuits caused by dampness. At the same time, its viscosity is minimally affected by temperature—no matter how the ambient temperature changes, its consistency remains stable, which is undoubtedly a "blessing" for production processes that require precise viscosity control. Moreover, it feels smooth and soft, has stable chemical properties, is not prone to reacting with other substances, and can insulate electricity. These characteristics make its application range extremely wide.
In different industries, IOTA Methyl Fluorosilicone Oil can find its "useful place":
- In the coating industry, it is an excellent defoamer that can eliminate bubbles generated during the mixing and brushing of coatings, making the coating film flatter and improving the quality of coatings.
- In the daily chemical industry, it can enhance the performance of skin care products and hair care products—its addition makes the products feel smoother during use and keeps the skin and hair soft.
- The instrument, electronics, and electrical industries use it as a lubricating oil, which can reduce friction and wear of precision instrument parts and extend the service life of equipment; as a shock-absorbing oil, it can reduce noise and vibration during equipment operation.
- When producing rubber, plastic, latex, and other products, it can be used as a release agent, enabling finished products to be quickly separated from molds, improving production efficiency, and making the product surface brighter.
- The textile industry uses it to treat fabrics, making clothes softer and more comfortable while increasing the hydrophobicity of the fabric, so that clothes are not easy to get wet.
- The leather industry mixes it with other additives, which can make leather products softer and more waterproof, and also improve the gloss of leather.
This IOTA Methyl Fluorosilicone Oil has four grades: MF-1 to MF-4. All of them are colorless or light yellow transparent oily liquids, and key indicators such as viscosity, density, and refractive index are within practical ranges. In addition, the viscosity and fluorine content of the product can be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of different industries to meet personalized production requirements. For packaging, there are small specifications such as 1kg, 5kg, 20kg, and 50kg, as well as a large 200kg specification. It is transported as a non-hazardous chemical, and only needs to be stored in a cool and dry environment with a shelf life of 12 months. Whether for small-batch trials or large-scale industrial production, it can be perfectly adapted, providing strong support for the development of various industries.
