Nedform Silicone Oil
Silicone oil is made from silicon. Nedform silicone oil can be used for countless purposes.
&#; minimal change in physical properties over a wide temperature range
&#; excellent water-repellent properties
&#; good dielectric properties
&#; low surface tension and therefore high surface activity chemically very non-reactive
&#; low pour point
&#; good solubility in a wide range of solvents
This silicone oil can be used in all pourable silicone in this webshop.
This highly liquid silicone oil 100 cSt. can be added to pourable silicone so that it will be softer and more flexible. By adding the oil, the silicone will be more fluid too and after curing it will be more elastic. The oil can also be used to manually smooth out thickened silicone that has been brushed onto a surface.
Technical data

Surface tension: 20.9 mN/m
Refractiev index at 25°C: 1.403
Processing
Take the desired amount of the silicone A component and add the appropriate amount of B-component (shown in the data sheet of your silicone). Stir the mixture well. Add the silicone oil to the silicone mixture. By varying between 1% and 10% (weight) oil, you can decide how much softer / flexible the end result will be.
Adding 8% oil is seen by many people to be an adequate reduction of the hardness (about 3-5 shore points) and is recommended. Adding more than 10% of the oil can have unacceptable impact on the final strength of the cured silicone and is therefore not recommended.
You can also add the silicone oil with the aim of making the silicon more liquid. This will make the silicone fluid better self deaerating. In this case too we do not recommend to add more than 10%.

The addition of silicone oil is a form of adjusting your silicones. You should be aware that the final values, will differ from the values indicated on the data sheets of the silicone.
Oil does not actively participate in the silicone network. This means it will be able to migrate out of the silicone over many years. This proces is sped up when the silicone are under pressure or bend. This will result in a greasy layer on the silicone surface and possible shrinkage of the rubber.
Shelf life
At least 5 years.
