Why is simethicone called a universal fluid?

It contains the most accessible element on earth, which is very widely distributed in nature, mainly in the form of compounds, in the ores that make up the earth's crust. Have you guessed the name of this element and the liquid in the picture by now? It is an all-purpose fluid - dimethyl silicone oil, which is processed and synthesized from silicon ore through multiple processes!

Dimethicone is odorless and non-toxic, with physiological inertness, good chemical stability, electrical and weather resistance, wide viscosity range, low freezing point, high flash point, good hydrophobicity, and high shear resistance. Long-term use within the temperature of 50 ~ 180oC.

Saying that silicone oil is omnipotent is not just saying it casually, because silicone oil is colorless and transparent, has a high flash point, is safe, environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and has excellent insulating properties, lubrication, and flow properties, which endow it with a very wide range of uses: electronic appliances, building materials , motor manufacturing, textile, printing and dyeing, finishing of various textiles to improve sliding stiffness, as well as medical and health, aviation research and military technology and other fields.

Silicone oil can be used directly or processed into emulsions widely used in daily chemical, textile, rubber and plastics industries through various emulsification processes.
