How to classify silicone oil?

Silicone oil generally refers to a linear polysiloxane that remains liquid at room temperature. It is a silicone product with a wide range of applications and a wide range of applications. According to the different classification of the substituent groups on the polysiloxane chain, silicone oil can be divided into: methyl silicone oil, phenyl silicone oil, ethyl silicone oil, hydroxy silicone oil, amino silicone oil, hydrogen silicone oil, vinyl silicone oil and polyether modified silicone oil. fluorosilicone oil and many other types.

According to the type of organic groups, the corresponding application characteristics are as follows:
