silicone oil
Slippery polymer fluid
Silicone oil is a synthetic lubricant made from silicon-based polymers, prized for its stability across extreme temperatures and resistance to oxidation.
It lubricates, waterproofs, and insulates in applications from mechanical equipment to cosmetics.
Unlike petroleum oils, silicone oil won't damage rubber or plastic: Apply a drop of silicone oil to the O-ring.
