LK- SIL 100T (10-1000K)

PDMS TECHINICAL GRADE SILICONE FLUIDS
We offer a wide range of silicone fluids in various viscosities that have a combination of properties that
give superior performance in a wide variety of applications.

LK-SIL 100T is industrial grade polydimethylsiloxane fluid

manufactured in the viscosity range from 10 cps to 1,000,000
cps. They are clear with a low characteristic odour. LK-SIL
100T silicone fluids are soluble in hydrocarbon solvents,
chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents and low molecular weight
aromatic solvents. They have limited solubility in alcohols,
ethers, acetone and glycols (Solubility depends on viscosity)

APPLICATIONS
 Polishes (High gloss for automobile and  Dielectric fluids
furniture)  Damping
 Release agent (Plastic/rubber/non-ferrous  Water Repellency for aerated cement
die casting) slabs/bricks
 Liquid Springs and Shock Absorbers  Paint and coating additives
 Heat transfer  Lubricants
 Power transmission  Textile finishing
 Rust prevention  Spinneret cleaner
 Hydraulic fluids

FEATURES
The unique silicon-oxygen polymer backbone structure permits silicone fluids to perform in
applications where other fluids are not suitable. Some of the outstanding properties of silicone fluids
are:
 Low Viscosity/Temperature Coefficient:  Low Surface Tension:
They exhibit a smaller degree of viscosity Silicone fluids have unusually low surface
change over a wider temperature range tensions that provide easy and efficient
than petroleum oils spreading and high surface activity.
 Thermal Stability:  Shear Stability:
Silicone fluids show excellent low/high The shear stability of such fluids can be as
temperatures stability from -52°C to 200°C much as twenty times that of quality
for extended periods and can exceed this petroleum oils.
for short periods.  Dielectric Properties:
 Oxidation Stability: They offer excellent dielectric properties
This is excellent up to 200°C. Slugging is that are maintained for prolonged periods,
eliminated that occurs with mineral oils even under adverse operating conditions.
above 150°C.  Non-Corrosive:
 Chemical Inertness: Silicone fluids contain no acid producing
They are chemically inert to most chemicals to cause staining or corrosion.

 Low Flammability: Silicone fluids are highly compressible and

ranging from 438°C to 460°C.
