Silicone Oil Market Report and Forecast 2020-2025

The global silicone oil market was valued at USD 1.83 billion in 2018 and is expected to register a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period from 2019 to 2025. Silicone oil is a transparent, non-toxic, odorless, tasteless liquid consisting of a linear chain of siloxane which is an organosilicon with the (Si-O-Si) linkage with a variety of side chains. There are different types of silicons oils, varying from each other based on their viscosity and the properties shown by them. The differences are based on their viscosity and molecular weight. Usually, silicone oils have a low specific density (0.97), high viscosity (1-5cs), low interfacial tension (35 mN/m) with a capability of being heavier or lighter than water which is dependent on the radical group attached to it.
