I. Basic Properties and Chemical Properties of Phenyl Silicone Oil
Phenyl silicone oil is a high-performance organosilicon compound based on polysiloxane, modified with phenyl groups. The phenyl groups in its molecular structure replace some methyl groups, giving it a unique combination of properties:

Thermal Stability: The gelation time in hot air at 250°C can reach 1750 hours, demonstrating excellent long-term thermal stability.
Temperature Adaptability: Operating temperature range extends from -50°C to 250°C, with short-term temperature resistance reaching 300-350°C.
Physical Properties: Wide viscosity range (25-2000 cSt), refractive index of 1.46-1.48, flash point ≥240°C.
Chemical Stability: Excellent resistance to oxidation, radiation, and chemical corrosion.

II. Performance Characteristics of Phenyl Silicone Oil as a High-Temperature Lubricant
Phenyl silicone oil exhibits several unique advantages in the high-temperature lubrication field:
High-Temperature Stability: Long-term stable operation at 250°C, with short-term temperature resistance reaching 350°C. It is not easily oxidized and decomposed at high temperatures, effectively reducing carbon deposits and coking. It has a flash point of 302°C, a fire point of 343°C, and an autoignition point of 487°C.

Lubricating Properties:
Low viscosity index, minimal temperature variation, maintaining a stable lubricating film.
Low saturated vapor pressure, suitable for high vacuum applications.
Non-corrosive to metals, will not damage seals.

Environmental Adaptability:
Excellent high and low temperature resistance (-50°C to 250°C).
Excellent oxidation resistance, extending equipment life.
Strong chemical inertness, unreactive with most substances.

Service Life:                                                 Long,                                        Medium,                                          Short
Phenyl silicone oil offers better high-temperature lubrication performance than methyl silicone oil (suitable for environments above 200°C) and superior thermal stability and oxidation resistance compared to mineral oil.

V. Application Considerations
Selecting the Appropriate Viscosity: Choose a product with the appropriate viscosity based on the operating temperature and application (e.g., IOTA255-300 is suitable for general high-temperature lubrication).
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, ventilated place, away from oxidants, acids, and bases.
Safety Precautions: Wear protective equipment during handling. Wash with soap and water after skin contact.
Compatibility Testing: Compatibility testing is required before contact with specific materials (such as certain rubbers).

Phenyl silicone oil, due to its unique high-temperature stability and lubricating properties, has become an irreplaceable specialty lubricant in high-temperature lubrication, playing a vital role in high-end industries such as aerospace, electronics, and chemicals.
