Silicon oil (Xiameter OFX 8040 Fluid

Silicone Oil (XIAMETER™ OFX-8040 Fluid) is a high-performance polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) silicone fluid designed for a wide range of industrial, textile, and specialty applications. Known for its excellent thermal stability, lubricity, chemical inertness, and water repellency, this silicone fluid is widely used by manufacturers who require consistent performance under demanding operating conditions.

In the Bangladesh market, XIAMETER OFX-8040 Silicone Oil is commonly used in textile processing, industrial lubrication, mold release applications, surface treatment, and specialty formulations. Its reliable quality and predictable behavior make it suitable for both continuous industrial use and precision applications.

Chemical & Physical Characteristics

XIAMETER OFX-8040 is a clear, colorless silicone fluid with low surface tension and high spreading ability. As a PDMS-based fluid, it exhibits excellent resistance to oxidation, heat, and moisture. The product remains stable across a wide temperature range and does not easily degrade under normal industrial processing conditions.

One of the key advantages of silicone oil is its non-reactive nature, which ensures compatibility with many substrates, including metals, plastics, rubber, textiles, and coated surfaces.

Industry-Wise Applications

Textile Processing & Finishing
In textile mills, silicone oil is widely used as a softening, lubricating, and surface-improving agent. XIAMETER OFX-8040 helps reduce fiber-to-fiber friction, improves fabric hand feel, and enhances processing efficiency during finishing operations.

Industrial Lubrication
This silicone fluid is used as a lubricant in applications where conventional mineral oils are not suitable. It provides smooth lubrication, reduces wear, and maintains performance even at elevated temperatures.

Mold Release & Surface Treatment
XIAMETER OFX-8040 Silicone Oil is commonly used as a mold release agent in rubber, plastic, and composite molding processes. Its excellent release properties help prevent sticking, improve surface finish, and extend mold life.

Water Repellency & Surface Protection
The product is suitable for water-repellent surface treatments on textiles, leather, and industrial components. It forms a thin, uniform protective layer that repels moisture without significantly altering surface appearance.

Specialty Industrial Formulations
Silicone oil is also used in polishes, coatings, defoamers, and specialty chemical blends where low surface tension and chemical stability are required.
