Long-Chain Alkyl Silicone Oil IOTA 1001 is a novel organic silicone material developed through structural optimization based on traditional dimethyl silicone oil. Compared to conventional dimethyl silicone oil, it not only fully retains the inherent fundamental superior properties of silicone oils, such as excellent high and low-temperature resistance, good medium wettability, and outstanding flexibility, but the introduction of long-chain alkyl groups further imparts a series of new functional characteristics, significantly expanding its application range.
In terms of physical properties, one of the most prominent advantages of IOTA 1001 is its exceptional smoothness and wear resistance. This characteristic enables it to meet user demands for products with higher lubrication grades, making it particularly suitable for application points with extremely stringent lubrication requirements. Consequently, it demonstrates more significant effects than traditional silicone oil in the preparation of high-performance textile auxiliaries, high-grade lubricants, and specialty greases.
Another key advantage is its excellent compatibility. IOTA 1001 exhibits good miscibility with various mineral oils, synthetic oils, and other organic oils. When this product is compounded with other oil agents and used in product formulations, the stability of the resulting system is significantly improved compared to using traditional dimethyl silicone oil, which helps extend the shelf life and service life of the final product.
In release and anti-adhesion applications, IOTA 1001 brings revolutionary convenience. A notable feature when it is used as a release agent or parting agent is that the molded parts obtained after release typically do not require an additional cleaning step and can directly undergo subsequent printing, spraying, coloring, or bonding processes. This solves the problem of difficult printing and adhesion caused by the migration of traditional dimethyl silicone oil to the product surface when used as a release agent, thereby simplifying production processes and improving efficiency.
Due to the presence of long-chain alkyl groups in its molecular structure, IOTA 1001 has excellent compatibility with many organic materials, such as rubber, plastics, and synthetic resins. This property makes it not only an effective external release agent but also particularly suitable for use as an internal release agent during the processing of these materials. Furthermore, this good compatibility also allows it to serve as an excellent internal dispersant in various oil-phase or solid-phase organic systems. For example, it outperforms traditional dimethyl silicone oil in the uniform dispersion of colorants, fillers, or other functional additives.
In the personal care sector, IOTA 1001 also performs exceptionally well. It possesses very good moisturizing properties, imparts a smooth skin feel, and effectively prevents skin dryness and cracking. These characteristics make it an ideal ingredient for formulating high-end skincare products, such as creams, hand creams, and body lotions, significantly enhancing the user experience and skincare efficacy of the final product.
Based on the multifunctional characteristics described above, Long-Chain Alkyl Silicone Oil IOTA 1001 finds application in a wide range of fields. In the cosmetics industry, it is used as an efficient lubricant in products like shampoos and creams to improve spreadability and post-use feel. In industrial release applications, it can be used for efficient demolding in metal casting, rubber and plastic molding (especially polyurethane products), and can also be directly added to plastic or resin materials as an internal release agent to improve processing and demolding performance. It is also a key component or primary base oil for formulating high-grade lubricating oils and greases. In the coatings industry, it acts as a defoamer and wetting dispersant, helping to achieve smoother, defect-free paint films. Simultaneously, it can serve as an efficient dispersant for colorants (pigments, dyes) and other solid additives in various media, ensuring system homogeneity and stability. Beyond the applications explicitly mentioned above, with continuous technological development and deepening understanding of new materials, IOTA 1001 holds significant potential application value waiting to be further researched and developed in numerous other fields.
