Silicone fluids provide long-term reliability in demanding mechanical applications where temperature extremes and longevity are critical.
Specialized Lubrication: Their inherent water repellency and thermal stability make them ideal for lubricating plastic and elastomer components, such as O-rings, seals, and gears, where petroleum-based oils cause swelling or degradation. They are also the base for high-performance silicone greases.

Shock Absorbers and Dampers: The high compressibility and predictable viscosity-temperature profile of silicone fluids allow for precise tuning of damping characteristics. This is crucial in automotive suspension systems, precision instrument mounts, and door closers, ensuring smooth, controlled motion across a wide temperature range.
Hydraulic Fluids: In specialized systems, particularly those involving exposure to oxygen or ozone, silicone fluids serve as reliable, stable hydraulic media.
