Low hydrogen silicone oil has a wide range of applications in liquid silicone rubber and exhibits many advantages.
Firstly, low hydrogen silicone oil can serve as a crosslinking agent for addition molded liquid silicone rubber (LSR). Under PT catalysis, it can form Si-C bonds, which contribute to the cross-linking structure of silicone rubber and significantly improve its performance. This cross-linking reaction gives silicone rubber higher strength and a more stable structure.
Secondly, low hydrogen silicone oil can also provide good dispersion and lubrication in silicone rubber. Due to the presence of a certain number of active hydrogen atoms in its molecular structure, it can be uniformly dispersed in silicone rubber and reduce its viscosity, thereby improving its processing performance and flowability. This helps silicone rubber to form more easily during the processing, improving production efficiency.
In addition, low hydrogen silicone oil also has excellent heat resistance, cold resistance, oxidation resistance, and electrical properties. These characteristics enable silicone rubber to maintain stable performance even in extreme environments, expanding its application range. For example, in situations where silicone rubber is required to have high heat and cold resistance, the amount of low hydrogen silicone oil added can be appropriately increased. In situations where silicone rubber is required to have good electrical performance, it is necessary to control the amount of low hydrogen silicone oil added at a lower level.
Overall, the application of low hydrogen silicone oil on liquid silicone rubber not only improves the performance of silicone rubber, but also broadens its application range. Meanwhile, the use of low hydrogen silicone oil also makes the processing of silicone rubber easier and more efficient.
