Methyl Phenyl Silicone Oil M-556

Methyl Phenyl Silicone Oil

Phenyl Methicone — Heat-Resistant Silicone Fluid

Grade: M-556

Methyl Phenyl Silicone Oil (M-556) is a premium heat-resistant silicone fluid with phenyl groups substituting a portion of methyl groups on the silicone backbone. This substitution dramatically improves thermal stability (up to 300°C), radiation resistance, and solubility in organic solvents compared to standard dimethyl silicone oils. Available in phenyl content ranging from 5% to 50%, M-556 is the preferred choice for high-temperature thermal transfer, cosmetic formulations, and precision lubrication.
