Pure 100% OTC silicon oil
Where can you find pure 100% OTC silicon oil?
I know the hobby shops sell shock oil that actually say "pure Silicon Oil" and "100% silicon oil", but it's not true. When you look at the MSDS you
find that there are additives.
I know that you can find silicon oil almost every where, transformer oils, clutch fan lubricants, mold release, spray cans, dot5, but I haven't found
any pure products OTC.
There is a company call Clearco Products that actually sells pure stuff that I've seen on the web but I haven't seen their products in my country

Mistral Fine chemicals
In vials of ivory and coloured glass
Unstoppered, lurked her strange synthetic perfumes,
Unguent, powdered, or liquid - troubled, confused
And drowned the sense in odours.

I believe the silicon oil sold for Airsoft Guns is fairly pure...
If you give a man a match he will be warm for a moment. Set him alight and he will be warm for the rest of his life.

I don't mean to be picky but wouldn't it be silicone oil? I have always thought silicon was the element and silicones were man-made
materials that were almost always derived in some way from the element (or compounds of the element).
Silicon oil makes me think of an oil with elemental silicon in it.
Is this correct?
"There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry ... There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any
question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors. ... We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it and
that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. And we know that as long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think,
free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost, and science can never regress." -J. Robert Oppenheimer

You are correct. Silicon is the element, silicones are a class of polysiloxane polymers. In most other languages the element is called silicium (with
varying orthography), the polymer silicon (ditto). Unfortunately this is only one out of many examples of English being an imprecise, ambiguous
language with lots of weird idiosyncrasies.  Note: I know that the pronunciation of
both words is distinctly different.
