Petrochemical manufacturing

The activity generating the emissions is market for polydimethylsiloxane. The Reference Product is polydimethylsiloxane. Polydimethylsiloxane is a silicon oil. This product can be both sold in oil and water emulsions (Kakhia n.d.). Silicon oils are generally used as lubricants for industrial and military applications, given their high usability in combination with aluminum, brass and bronze. Silicone oils can also be used in the production of lubricating greases (Mang et al. 2011). The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is market activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.12/cutoff/dataset/94012/documentation
