This is our lowest viscosity silicone oil best suited for applications requiring a thin, fast-spreading layer of lubrication or protection against friction, moisture and corrosion. Being a light-weight oil, this is commonly used in high-speed lubricating applications requiring consistent performance in varing environments and temperature ranges.

Suitable Applications:

Silicone oil regardless of viscosity has many excellent characteristics that make it one of the best choices to use as a lubricant, protectant and polish. For example, silicone oil has low surface tension allowing it to spread easily and lubricate hard to reach places. Although most applications do not require a specific viscosity, you'll find this lower, 100 cSt silicone oil (comparable to 10 WT) to be most suitable for the following or similar applications:

» Sewing machine lubricant

» Smooth key lock operation

» Fix squeaky car door windows

» Improve guitar string performance

» Create beautiful, small acrylic art cells

» Lubricating and protecting airguns

While we recommend using 100 cSt silicone oil for the above applications, using a slightly thicker 350 cSt silicone oil will also work well and maybe preferred by some users. Silicone oil is extremely versatile with numerous applications at home and in the workplace, see the more uses for silicone oil with other viscosities.

Viscosity

The below video will give you a good idea of the thickness of 100 cSt silicone oil:

The viscosity or thickness of a liquid is measured in centistokes, abbreviated as cSt. Water is 1 centistokes and as the number increases so does the thickness. Learn about centistokes (cSt).

Regular vs Eco-friendly Silicone Oil

Unlike regular silicone oil that's made from a highly energy intensive process, our eco-friendly silicone oil has significantly lower carbon footprint and redirects silicone rubber scrap that would have been landfilled but instead is given a second life.

Silicone Spray Lubricant vs Pure Silicone Oil

Silicone spray lubricants use silicone oil as its active ingredient for lubrication, however, sprays usually contain just a small amount of silicone oil, approximately 3-8% of volume. The remaining ingredient is genearlly a misture of solvents that thin out the silicone oil so it can be easily applied. Once sprayed, the solvent evaporates as a VOC and leaves behind a thin layer of silicone oil acting as the lubricant. Silicone sprays are not only bad for the environment, it's very inefficient as usualy more than 90% of the bottle is meant to just evaporate.

Why not just buy pure silicone oil?
