Technical Information
DOWSIL 510 is a clear, 500 centistoke (cSt) viscosity polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) silicone fluid used as a dielectric coolant, thermal transfer medium, electrical insulating fluid, and general-purpose lubricant in electrical and electronic equipment. The 500 cSt viscosity provides good thermal contact and flow characteristics for transformer cooling, electrical switchgear insulation, and high-voltage laboratory applications. DOWSIL 510 exhibits excellent thermal and oxidative stability, a wide liquid temperature range, low surface tension, and outstanding dielectric properties, making it one of the most widely used silicone fluids in electrical engineering and industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is DOWSIL 510 500 cSt silicone fluid used for?
A: DOWSIL 510 is used as a dielectric coolant in transformers and electrical switchgear, as an electrical insulating fluid in high-voltage equipment, as a thermal transfer medium in laboratory and industrial cooling applications, and as a general-purpose silicone lubricant.
Q: What is the MPN for DOWSIL 510 500 mL can?
A: The Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) is 2351382.
Q: What does 500 cSt viscosity mean for silicone fluid?
A: Centistoke (cSt) is a unit of kinematic viscosity. 500 cSt DOWSIL 510 is a medium-viscosity silicone fluid — thicker than water but free-flowing at room temperature, providing good thermal contact while staying in place in transformer and electrical cooling applications.
Q: Is DOWSIL 510 silicone fluid safe for electrical equipment?
A: Yes. DOWSIL 510 is a dielectric silicone fluid specifically developed for electrical insulation and cooling applications. It has high dielectric strength and does not conduct electricity.
Q: Can DOWSIL 510 be used as a mold release or lubricant?
A: Yes. DOWSIL 510 silicone fluid is also used as a mold release agent, release coating for rubber and plastic molding, and general-purpose lubricant for plastics, rubber, and metal surfaces where a silicone-based lubricant is appropriate.
