Alexander J. Babchin

Silicon oil is not vilotile, usually one component liquid paraphine, no smell, well controlled properties.

Sibasish Dutta

Thank you

Joseph L Alvarez

In addition to the properties mentioned by Alexander, It is inflammable.

Yes, its inflamable in the balk. But you can burn it in a candle mode. That is still a liquid paraphene, CnH 2n+2 is the chemical formula. It is a saturate, has a lot of hydrogen.
