Application

Silicone oil has been used:
  • for melting-point and boiling-point apparatus
  • in membrane contactors to impregnate fibers
  • on rheometer samples (chicken skin and bovine gelatin) to prevent evaporation during heating using temperature sweeps and frequency sweeps

Biochem/physiol Actions

Silicone oil is suitable for use in under-oil screenings of proteins.

Features and Benefits

  • High viscosity
  • Low water solubility
  • Low vapor pressure
