In construction, Methyl Hydrogen Silicone Fluid is used to impart deep, reactive hydrophobicity to porous substrates like concrete, sandstone, and masonry. Applied as a dilute solution, the low-viscosity fluid penetrates several millimeters into the pore structure. There, it reacts with atmospheric moisture and surface silanols to form a persistent, non-polar silicone resin within the capillaries.
View MorePolyvinyl Methyl Siloxane (PVMS) Fluid is engineered for lubrication applications where conventional hydrocarbons and standard PDMS fluids fail. The integration of vinyl groups along the polymer chain significantly enhances its thermal-oxidative stability. While standard methyl silicones may thicken or form silica gel above 150°C, PVMS can operate continuously at 200-250°C and intermittently up to 300°C.
View MoreBeyond standard elastomers, Vinyl Terminated Silicone Fluid serves as a macromonomer for creating a wide range of custom silicone organic copolymers and modified silicones. Its terminal vinyl groups can participate in various reaction mechanisms beyond hydrosilylation, including:
View MoreVinyl Terminated Silicone Fluids are key to formulating high-performance Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs) like gap fillers and thermally conductive gels. In these applications, the fluid is loaded with high levels of functional fillers (e.g., alumina, boron nitride) to achieve thermal conductivity.
View MorePVMS is a key ingredient in high-performance semi-permanent release coatings for polyurethane, epoxy, and composite molding. When formulated with an Si-H crosslinker and a platinum catalyst, it can be applied to a mold surface and cured into a thin, crosslinked film.
View MoreSilicone fluids provide long-term reliability in demanding mechanical applications where temperature extremes and longevity are critical.
View MoreIn Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) injection molding, Vinyl Terminated Silicone Fluid is the primary component of the base compound. Its low viscosity, prior to curing, allows for easy pumping and rapid filling of intricate molds, enabling the mass production of complex parts with fine details.
View MoreThe unique properties of Vinyl Terminated Silicone Fluid are exploited in soft lithography, most famously for Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamps, though its use extends to advanced coatings.
View MoreThe electronics industry relies on the electrical and thermal properties of silicone fluids for protection and performance. Dielectric Coolants: Their high dielectric strength and thermal stability make them ideal for cooling high-voltage transformers and capacitors. They are a safer, more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional PCB-filled units.
View MoreIn construction materials, PVMS provides a more durable and penetrating water repellency compared to non-reactive silicones. Applied as a solution to concrete, masonry, or sandstone, it penetrates deeply into the pore structure. Upon exposure to atmospheric moisture and a catalyst, the fluid undergoes two simultaneous reactions:
