Les liquides siliconiques, généralement des diméthylsilicones de poids moléculaire relativement bas, ont une faible tension superficielle, un grand pouvoir mouillant vis-à-vis des métaux et présentent une faible variation de viscosité avec la température. Ils sont le plus généralement utilisés comme lubrifiants, comme liquides pour systèmes hydrauliques, comme agents antimousse, comme imperméabilisants pour cuirs et textiles et dans l'industrie des cosmétiques. 2, record 1, French, - huile%20de%20silicone
