Silicone Fluids

Silicone Fluids

Silicone oils, or polydimethylsiloxanes, are basic constituents in most silicone-based applications. The most common PDMS fluid is a non-reactive, trimethyl terminated linear polymer with a repeating, easy-to-rotate dimethyl siloxane backbone. These polymers are commercially available in relatively short chains as highly volatile, VOC-exempt cosmetic carriers all the way up to barely flowable silicone gums of ~20,000,000 cSt viscosity, and everything in between. Alternative linear silicone polymers may have reactive endgroups such as silanol fluids (also called OH fluids, or SFR fluids for &#;reactive&#;), which are the most common, or other reactive endgroups such as vinyl, hydride, carboxyl or myriad other options in order to bring polymer chain extension and elastomeric crosslinking options into play. Silicone fluids are one of the most important classes of polymeric materials in the world today, touching nearly every market segment including the limited representations listed below:
