Silicone fluid

From Plastics Wiki, free encyclopedia

Silicone fluid Silicone additives are clear polydimethylsiloxane liquids that perform two basic types of functions. At low concentrations, silicone additives are used as a process improver, increasing mold flow and providing self-release characteristics. At higher concentrations, they are used to form self-lubricating plastics for bearings and other mechanical applications.
