Silicone-based fluid with unique properties because it is not a petroleum or organic chemistry. Products like this are the first, and still only, major class of polymers that are a product of inorganic chemistry. It has a remarkable diversity of uses - from brake fluids over lubrication to electronics. It makes excellent, safe, low volatility heat transfer media, mould releases for rubber, plastic, and glass parts, lubrication for most non-metal-to-metal contact, and similar. It is found in hydraulic systems, inertial guidance systems, delicate timing, and photographic devices, and as dielectric fluids in electronic components, such as capacitors and transformers. Also suitable for polish and other high-gloss water-repellent coatings, antifoams, grease, and oil formulations (when mixed with thickeners, such as silica and bentonite). High-performance greases can be produced by compounding the silicone fluid with extreme-pressure additives, such as polytetrafluoroethylene or molybdenum disulfide.
