Commonly used medical silicone oil is mostly polydimethylsiloxane. With its defoaming properties, it can be made into anti-swelling tablets for treating abdominal distension and aerosol for treating pulmonary edema. It can also be used as an anti-intestinal adhesion prevention agent in abdominal surgery. Adhesive, used as gastric defoamer and lubricant for some medical surgical instruments in gastroscopy.
Silicone oil can also be used as an organic silicon defoamer for the food industry. Food-specific polysiloxane resins are emulsified products, and other products can be directly used in oil-based products. Such defoaming occasions include fermentation and sugar production. As well as suppressing foam during the production of other foods.
Silicone grease is an organic silicone grease made from food-grade silicone oil thickened by an inorganic thickener and added with various additives such as anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion. Food grade silicone grease is designed to seal and lubricate food processing equipment. It does not contain any toxic substances and heavy metals and is absolutely safe to food.
Silicone oil paper is a commonly used packaging paper with a three-layer structure, the first layer is bottom paper, the second layer is coated, and the third layer is silicone oil. Since silicone oil paper has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, moisture resistance and oil resistance, it is generally used for packaging in the food industry.
