When polishing sugar coated tablets, Sichuan wax powder with 2% dimethyl silicone oil was added to the coated tablets for polishing. Compared with the tablets without dimethyl silicone oil, the sugar coated tablets have bright and beautiful color surface and moisture-proof effect, so as to ensure that the sugar coated tablets do not decolorize and mildew during storage.

The possible behaviors of droplets in condensate include spreading, forming droplets and mixing. Dimethyl silicone oil is the lowest surface energy condensant (liquid paraffin 0.035N/m, vegetable oil 0.035N/m, dimethyl silicone oil 0.021N/m) in common water-soluble pill condensants.

Dimethylsilicone oil is the only medicinal excipient with antistatic effect at present. The dosage of dimethylsilicone oil used as antistatic agent is 0.1% of the weight of powder particles.

Lubricant is a general term for the excipients added to the material to be pressed before pressing to make it have or increase fluidity, anti-adhesion and lubricity, so as to facilitate the process of pressing. It can reduce the friction between particles or tablets and the die. After the tablet die is cleaned, a layer of dimethylsilicone oil can also solve the problem of sticky punching of some varieties.
