Application Advantages of Silicone Oil in the Coatings Industry

Silicone oil acts as a "performance optimizer" in the coatings industry, playing an irreplaceable role in key scenarios such as leveling improvement, weather resistance, and wear enhancement, thanks to its excellent surface activity and stability. It helps make coating products more adaptable to diverse usage needs.

Leveling Optimization
During the application of coatings, defects such as brush marks, orange peel, and pinholes can easily occur due to substrate surface tension and application techniques. Adding a small amount of silicone oil (typically 0.01%-0.1% of the total paint volume) can significantly reduce the surface tension of the paint, promoting even spreading on the substrate surface. For example, adding modified silicone oil to interior latex paint for home decoration causes brush marks to disappear quickly during brushing, resulting in a smooth and delicate finish once dry, significantly improving visual quality.

Weather Resistance and Protection
The chemical stability of silicone oil shows its outstanding value, as it can tightly bond with the resin in the paint to form a dense hydrophobic protective film on the coating surface, protecting it from UV rays, rain, and high temperatures. When added to outdoor building exterior wall coatings, silicone oil enhances aging resistance, extending the product's service life to over 10 years, while maintaining vibrant color.

Wear Enhancement
Silicone oil can also enhance the scratch and wear resistance of coatings. When added to furniture varnish and floor coatings, the hardness of the coating increases by more than 20%, making it less prone to scratches during daily use and easier to clean. Research by Anhui Iota Silicone Oil Co., Ltd. shows that wood coatings with this silicone oil maintained excellent gloss after 500 abrasion tests, outperforming traditional products.
