    Challenges in purifying silicone oil include its high viscosity, which can make filtration and degassing processes less efficient. Moisture and dissolved gases are particularly stubborn contaminants due to silicone oil’s chemical properties. To overcome these challenges, purification systems must be specifically designed for silicone oil, incorporating high-efficiency vacuum dehydration and degassing units. Heating the oil can reduce viscosity, improving flow and purification effectiveness. Advanced filtration techniques and adsorbent materials can address the removal of fine particulates and polar compounds. Regular system maintenance and monitoring ensure the purification process remains effective.
