Description
Silicone Oil 350 cSt is a premium-grade, medium-viscosity silicone fluid known for its exceptional thermal stability, lubricating properties, and resistance to oxidation. With a viscosity of 350 centistokes (cSt), this silicone oil is ideal for a range of industrial, automotive, and laboratory applications requiring consistent performance in high and low temperatures. Its inert, non-toxic, and non-corrosive nature makes it suitable for sensitive applications, from mold release to electrical insulation and precision lubrication.
