In industrial production, many devices have to withstand extreme environments of extreme cold or high temperature. Ordinary lubricants and heat transfer media often "can't hold up"—they solidify and fail at low temperatures, and volatilize and deteriorate at high temperatures. However, the IOTA 255 Phenyl Methyl Silicone Oil can work stably in an ultra-wide temperature range from -70℃ to 300℃, and also has multiple advantages such as lubrication and insulation, making it an "all-round material" in extreme environments.
It is a colorless, transparent or light yellow transparent liquid, which looks clean and refreshing, with good fluidity, making it easy for pouring and smearing. More thoughtfully, it offers a variety of viscosity options ranging from 30cst to 1400cst. For example, IOTA 255-75 has a viscosity of 75cst, similar to thin vegetable oil, suitable for scenarios requiring rapid flow; IOTA 255-1000 has a viscosity of 1000cst, like thick honey, suitable for working conditions that need long-term adhesion, enabling precise matching of different needs.
"Resistance to high and low temperatures" is its core advantage. In the extremely cold environment of -70℃, it will not freeze into a block and can still maintain fluidity for lubrication; at a high temperature of 300℃, its volatility is also very low—when heated at 250℃ for 2 hours, the volatility is less than 2%, and when heated at 300℃ for 30 hours, the volatility is controlled between 7.5% and 8.5%. It will not be easily lost and can play a role stably for a long time. For instance, it can handle the lubrication of outdoor equipment in cold areas and the heat transfer system of high-temperature industrial furnaces with ease.
In addition, its comprehensive performance is also excellent. Its lubricity is far superior to that of ordinary dimethyl silicone oil, which can reduce the friction and wear of mechanical parts and extend the service life of equipment; it has excellent electrical insulation, so it can be used as insulating oil in high-voltage environments to protect electronic equipment such as transformers and capacitors; it can also be well miscible with other organic resins, facilitating the matching with other materials and expanding application scenarios.
Whether it is used as the base oil for high-temperature grease, instrument lubricating oil, the heat transfer medium for special metal heat treatment, or the insulating oil for electronic equipment, this silicone oil that can withstand extreme temperatures is competent, providing a reliable solution to the problem of extreme environments in industrial production.
