Core Advantages

Experimental Data & Case Studies

• Experimental Data

• Case Study Analysis

Case 1: Automotive Sealant Performance Enhancement

Issue: A car manufacturer’s sealant exhibited cracking at low temperatures.

Solution: Added hydrogen silicone oil with 0.8% hydrogen content as a cross-linking agent.

Result: Elasticity retention rate at -40°C improved from 60% to 85% (tested per ISO 3387).

Case 2: Long-Lasting Cosmetic Waterproofing

Requirement: Extend the wear time of waterproof mascara.

Experiment: Incorporated 1% hydrogen silicone oil into the formula.

Result: Simulated sweat resistance testing showed waterproof duration increased from 4h to 8h (in vitro testing).

Usage Methods & Precautions

Usage Methods

• Cross-Linking Reaction (Silicone Rubber Preparation)
• Ratio: Hydrogen silicone oil : vinyl silicone oil = 1:100–10 (based on molar ratio of Si-H to Si-Vi).
• Catalysis: Add 1–50 ppm platinum catalyst (e.g., Karstedt catalyst).
• Curing: Temperature range: room temperature to 150 °C; curing time adjusted according to material thickness.
• Waterproofing Treatment (Textiles/Building Materials)
• Dilution: Dilute with toluene or water to 10%–30% concentration (emulsified form).
• Process: Apply via spraying or dip-coating, followed by drying/curing at 80–180 °C.
• Defoamer Preparation

Directly add 0.1%–1% to the system and disperse uniformly under high-speed mixing.

Precautions

• Storage: Store in a sealed, light-proof container. Avoid contact with strong oxidizers, acids, or bases.
• Safety: Wear protective gloves during handling; ensure proper ventilation.

Packaging & Ordering

Packaging: 200kg/1000kg plastic drums (customizable).
