Preparation Methods, Core Technologies & Precautions

Preparation Methods

  • Hydrolytic Condensation Method

Raw Material Preparation:

Mix silicon monomers such as methyl hydrogen dichlorosilane and dimethyl dichlorosilane in specific ratios, and dissolve them in organic solvents like toluene or xylene.

Prepare deionized water and an alkaline catalyst solution (e.g., sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide).

Hydrolysis Reaction:

Slowly drip the silicon monomer solution into deionized water under stirring, maintaining the reaction temperature between 0–25°C.

The silicon monomers undergo hydrolysis to form silanols. Control the dripping rate and temperature to prevent excessive reaction.

Polycondensation Reaction:

After hydrolysis, add the alkaline catalyst and raise the temperature to 50–100°C for polycondensation.

Silanols condense to form Si-O bonds, gradually producing hydrogen-containing silicone oil. The reaction typically lasts 2–8 hours, depending on raw material ratios and temperature.

Post-Treatment:

Allow the mixture to settle, separate the organic phase, and wash it to neutrality.

Remove solvents and low-boiling impurities via vacuum distillation to obtain crude hydrogen-containing silicone oil.

Further refine the product through filtration or adsorption to meet standards for cosmetics and personal care applications.

  • Hydrosilylation Method

Raw Material Preparation:

Use hydrogen-containing siloxanes (e.g., hydrogen silicone oil intermediates) and organic compounds with carbon-carbon double bonds (e.g., allyl polyethers).

Prepare a catalyst such as chloroplatinic acid in isopropanol.

Reaction Process:

Dissolve the reactants in an organic solvent, add the catalyst, and conduct the hydrosilylation at 50–120°C under atmospheric or slightly elevated pressure.

Maintain stirring to ensure thorough mixing. Control temperature, time, and reactant ratios to optimize product formation.

Product Treatment:

Remove solvents and unreacted materials via vacuum distillation.

Eliminate residual catalyst using adsorption or filtration.

Refine and purify to obtain hydrogen-containing silicone oil with tailored properties for cosmetics and personal care products.

Core Technologies

  • Catalyst Technology

High-Efficiency Catalyst Selection:

Use highly active and selective catalysts like chloroplatinic acid complexes. These enable efficient hydrosilylation at low concentrations (ppm to ‰ levels), minimizing side reactions and improving yield.

Catalyst Stability and Recycling:

Enhance catalyst stability through modification or supported catalysts for reuse.

Develop recovery methods (e.g., adsorption, precipitation) to reduce costs and environmental impact.

  • Molecular Structure Design and Control

Customized Molecular Design:

Tailor hydrogen silicone oil structures (e.g., molecular weight, hydrogen content, branching) to meet specific performance requirements (e.g., softness, gloss).

Real-Time Monitoring:

Use NMR, GPC, and other analytical tools to monitor reaction progress and adjust conditions (temperature, time, catalyst dosage) for consistent product quality.

  • Product Refinement and Purification

Impurity Removal:

Eliminate unreacted materials, catalyst residues, and byproducts via washing, vacuum distillation, and adsorption.

Quality Control:

Test key parameters (hydrogen content, molecular weight, viscosity, surface tension, flash point) using advanced analytical methods.

Adhere to industry standards and customer specifications for rigorous quality assurance.

Key Considerations

  • Incompatibility Warnings:

Avoid combining with:

High-concentration vitamin C powder (precipitates at pH < 3).

Unneutralized carbomer systems.

  • Stability Recommendations:

Add 0.1–0.3% polyglyceryl fatty acid esters.

Maintain process temperature at 40–60°C.

Packaging & Ordering

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