Hydroxy Silicone Fluids
Silico® is a leading global manufacturer of silanes and silicones with over 15 years of experience.
Hydroxy silicone fluid, also known as silanol silicone fluid, is a hydroxyl-terminated linear polydimethylsiloxane. It is widely used as an additive, intermediate, or base polymer in multiple applications.
Low molecular weight hydroxy silicone fluid improves processing in filled silicone rubbers, preventing crepe hardening and extending storage life. It also acts as a base polymer for water repellents and as a hydrophobizing agent for fillers like silica.
Silico® offers hydroxy-terminated vinyl silicone fluids, methyl-phenyl silicone fluids, and fluorosilicone fluids. Hydroxy vinyl fluids enhance mechanical performance; phenyl fluids improve heat resistance; fluorosilicone fluids provide excellent chemical resistance and oil repellency.
Hydroxy fluorosilicone fluids are ideal for extreme temperatures and fuel exposure. They can also be used as fabric finishers, defoamers, and water/oil repellents in coatings and textiles.
In personal care, hydroxy silicone fluids enhance hair shine, gloss, and volume. In coatings, they improve defoaming, leveling, and anti-skinning properties.

Hydroxy Silicone Fluids: Guide
Hydroxy silicone fluids are linear polydimethylsiloxane compounds terminated with hydroxyl groups (–OH). These reactive fluids are commonly used in silicone rubber production, textile finishing, and as defoamers in industrial applications.
Applications:
Silicone Rubber Processing: Enhances stability and prevents premature curing.
Textile and Leather Finishing: Provides water repellency and softness.
Defoaming Agents: Controls foam in coatings, paints, and adhesives.
Lubricants and Additives: Used in automotive, industrial applications, and various formulations.
Hydroxy silicone fluids are available in different viscosities, tailored for specific needs.
