What are the types of silicone resins? Silicone resin is a common raw material in chemical production, and there are also many silicone resin products in our daily life. Silicone resin is widely used, even in the aerospace field, so what are the types of silicone resin? The following will give you a description of the types of silicone resin.

After more than 50 years of research and development since its introduction in the early 1940s, it has developed into a large family of compounds including various silicon-containing low molecular compounds and high molecular weight liquids, elastomers and resins. There are thousands of varieties of products (5,000 in the United States and 3,000 in Japan), and the common varieties are as follows.

(1) Silicone oil

Dimethyl silicone oil, methyl phenyl silicone oil, methyl hydrogen silicone oil, ethyl silicone oil, long chain alkyl silicone oil, hydroxyl silicone oil, fluorosilicone oil and various base modified silicone oil; there are also secondary processing products of silicone oil such as silicone grease, emulsion, etc.

(2)Silicone rubber

Heat vulcanized methyl vinyl silicone rubber, methyl phenyl silicone rubber, fluorosilicone rubber, etc.

Room temperature vulcanized two-component methyl silicone rubber, fluorosilicone rubber, etc.

Room temperature vulcanized one-component silicone rubber: deacetic acid type, dehydrated alcohol type, deketoxime type, etc.

Addition molding silicone rubber (commonly known as silicone gel is catalyzed by platinum catalyst into elastomer).

(3)Silicone resin

Methyl silicone resin, methyl phenyl silicone resin, phenyl silicone resin and a variety of organic resin modified silicone resin.

(4) Silane coupling agent

Hydrocarbon alkoxy silanes with silicone atoms directly with vinyl or with reactive groups such as epoxy groups, amino groups, methacryloyloxy groups, hydroxyl groups, etc.

What are the types of silicone resins? There are many types of silicone resins with various derivatives, which is the reason why silicone resins can be used so widely, and different types have different application areas.
