Lubrication of equipment under high-temperature working conditions has always been a difficult problem—ordinary lubricating oil is prone to volatilization and deterioration when exposed to high temperatures, leading to accelerated wear of parts. This not only affects the service life of the equipment but also may cause failures. However, the IOTA 255 Phenyl Methyl Silicone Oil, with its excellent high-temperature resistance and lubricating performance, can provide long-term lubrication protection for high-temperature equipment, completely freeing them from "wear troubles".
Its high-temperature resistance is extremely strong. It can work stably in a high-temperature environment of 300℃, and its volatility is very low. For example, the IOTA 255-500 model has a volatility of less than 1% when heated at 250℃ for 2 hours. Even if it is in a high-temperature working condition for a long time, it will not be easily lost and can continuously adhere to the surface of parts to form a lubricating film. This is crucial for equipment such as high-temperature instruments and transmission parts of industrial furnaces, avoiding the trouble of frequent addition of lubricating oil and reducing part damage caused by insufficient lubrication.
Lubricating performance is even its "specialty". Compared with ordinary silicone oil, it has better lubricity, which can effectively reduce the friction coefficient between metal parts and decrease wear and noise. For example, when used as the base oil for high-temperature grease, the prepared grease can be applied to high-temperature rotating parts such as automobile engines and industrial motors, making the equipment operate more smoothly; when used as the lubricating oil for high-temperature instruments, it can ensure the precise operation of precision instruments at high temperatures and reduce errors.
In addition to high-temperature resistance and lubrication, its other properties are also very practical. It has a wide range of viscosity options, from 30cst to 1400cst, and the appropriate model can be selected according to the rotation speed and load of the equipment parts. For example, low-viscosity models are suitable for small parts with high-speed operation, while high-viscosity models are suitable for low-speed and heavy-load parts; it has excellent electrical insulation, so there is no need to worry about electric leakage even if it occasionally comes into contact with electronic parts; it also has good chemical stability, will not react with the equipment material, and has no corrosion to the parts.
It is also convenient for storage and use. It only needs to be placed in a cool and dry place at 0℃-40℃, avoiding contact with acid and alkali substances. It is transported as a non-dangerous good, making handling and storage worry-free. This silicone oil, which integrates high-temperature resistance, strong lubrication, and easy storage, is undoubtedly an ideal choice for the lubrication of high-temperature equipment, providing a guarantee for the long-term and stable operation of the equipment.
