1. Introduction
Metal casting is one of the important processes in the manufacturing industry, and the selection of release agents has a significant impact on the quality and production efficiency of castings. Silicone oil, as an excellent release agent, has been widely used in metal casting.


2. Application principle of silicone oil in metal casting
Silicone oil, as a release agent, can form a uniform thin film on the surface of the mold, preventing direct contact between the molten metal and the mold surface, thereby reducing friction and adhesion between the casting and the mold. Silicone oil also has good lubricity and high temperature resistance, which can maintain stable demolding effect at high temperatures.
