MQ silicone resin introduction

MQ silicone resin is a kind of organic silicone resin with a relatively unique structure. It is a three-dimensional spherical silicone resin generated by the co-hydrolysis and polycondensation reaction of an organic silicone compound containing a tetrafunctional siloxane chain (SiO4/2, Q) and an organic silicone compound containing a monofunctional siloxane chain (R3SiO1/2, M). It is generally believed that MQ silicone resin is a double-layered tight sphere, the core of which is a cage-like silica with a high density of silicon-oxygen bonds and a polymerization degree of 15-50, and the shell is a low-density R3SiO1/2 layer. MQ silicone resin has many different types due to the different organic groups R on the shell: when all R are methyl, it is called methyl MQ silicone resin or MQ silicone resin for short; when part of R is vinyl, it is called methyl vinyl MQ silicone resin; when part of R is H, it is called methyl hydrogenated MQ silicone resin; there are also methyl phenyl MQ silicone resin, vinyl MQ silicone resin, phenyl MQ silicone resin, fluorine-containing MQ silicone resin, MDQ, MTQ silicone resin, etc.

Its structural formula is: (R3SiO1/2)m(SiO4/2)n, R is methyl, vinyl, hydrogen, phenyl, etc.

Sanfan Chemical can customize different types of MQ silicone resin according to customer requirements.

Characteristics of MQ silicone resin

1. Excellent heat resistance and low temperature resistance, can be used in a temperature environment of -60℃ to +300℃.

2. Good weather resistance, aging resistance, and resistance to ultraviolet radiation.

3. Good water repellency.

4. Good adhesion performance.

5. Excellent isolation performance.

Product application areas

Silicone rubber reinforcing filler: Using MQ silicone resin as a reinforcing agent, liquid silicone rubber products have certain mechanical strength and high light transmittance, and the fluidity of the rubber before vulcanization is good;

Organic silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive reinforcing tackifier: adjust cohesion, adhesion and initial adhesion;

Defoaming agent field: improve the high temperature resistance, strong alkali resistance and foam suppression performance of the defoaming agent;

Mold release agent field: improve the mold release durability of the mold release agent, and the mold release effect for high-adhesion resins (such as polyurethane, epoxy resin, etc.) is more ideal;

Waterproofing agent field: The structure of polysiloxane determines that silicone resin is hydrophobic, and its contact angle with water is greater than 90° and is used in waterproof materials.

Cosmetic field: As a surface protective coating, it can eliminate the stickiness of silicone oil, improve smoothness, scratch resistance, and increase gloss;

Release regulator for addition-type anti-adhesive agents: Vinyl MQ silicone resin can be used as a release regulator for addition-type anti-adhesive agents;
