Reactive silicone fluid

DF 1040. [GESiUcones] Reactive silicone fluid forms water-repellent fluids for textile, particle treatment, etc. 

Metal hydroxides in combination with various silicon-containing compounds have been used to reduce the amount of additive required to achieve a required level of flame retardancy in a variety of polymeric materials, including polyolefins.62-63 Systems that have been used contain a combination of reactive silicone polymers, a linear silicone fluid or gum, and a silicone resin, which is soluble in the fluid, in addition to a metal soap, in particular magnesium stearate. However, there is little insight given into how these formulations work. 

A common feature of all these compounds is their tetrahedral structure at the silicon atom which is bound to four oxygen neighbors. A tremendous breakthrough in the history of silicon-based polymers has been achieved by the invention of the Direct Process by Muller and Rochow resulting in the industrial production of methyl chlorosilanes with hydrolytically stable Si-C bonds besides very reactive Si-Cl bonds which serve as building units for a wide variety of polydimethyl siloxanes including silicon fluids, resins, and elastomers. 

SOFTENER 2945 is an emulsion of silicone fluids containing some reactive groups which is useful as a textile lubricant and softener. 

Almost all fimctional silicone fluids of today s industrial production are either of a cyclic nature, containing the appropriate residues, or are linear oils bearing reactive functionalities at both ends or in the chain. The chemical nature of silicone synthesis done by equilibration and condensation is prohibitive for formation of asymmetrical silicones, in contrast to organic molecules like oleic acid or even ethanol. Currently there is only one way of preparing monofunctional silicone fluids, which is through kinetic anionic ring opening polymerization of the cyclic silicone monomer hexamethyl-cyclotrisiloxane (D3). 

The NMR results are certainly more accurate than any other chemical method. There are no side-reactions and there is no interference with other reactive functions as is observed in chemical analysis1,83. When a good signal-to-noise ratio is obtained the precision (relative error percentage) is 5%. For the chemical analysis of hydroxyl the relative error is 5-15%. A single NMR spectrum can yield information concerning a very complex silicone fluid that would otherwise require several different analytical methods. 

Even though iodonium salts can be designed for compatibility In low polarity media, they are still ionic salts soluble only in certain organofunctlonal silicones. For example, while Catalyst A is miscible in Polymer II, it is only partially soluble in Polymer I Catalyst B is immiscible in either silicone fluid. We therefore sought means by which reactive epoxyslllcone fluids may be modified to permit dissolution of high concentrations of iodonium salts. 

Whereas the siloxane groups are generally chemically inert, the reactivity of the silanol groups allows chemical surface modification [28,29]. Thus, the reaction with organosilanes [30-34], silicone fluids or chlorosilanes [35-38] leads to hydrophobic silicas. 

To minimize the reaetivity of this important white pigment Ti02 producers process special plastics grade versions in which the reactive sites are masked with alumina, silica, and/or silicone fluid via proprietaiy means.

LR compounds can also contain silicone fluids, i.e. polydimethylsiloxanes without reactive groups. These lower the viscosity of the uncured rubber and/or the hardness of the cured product. Pigments are used to color the transparent-to-translucent liquid silicones, to which heat stabilizers and antistatic agents, for example, may also be added. 

Silanols are reactive silicone compounds which when reacted with silica gives very effective antifoam compounds. Silanol compounds have also been used in softergent applications, in many cases giving better, more durable softening than silicone fluids. 

Most silicone fluids and silicone greases are used in the form in which they are supplied and require no further polymerisation or curing by the customer. The other products listed, elastomer- and resin-based materials, usually require further curing in the course of extrusion, moulding, encapsulating or similar processes. They are therefore formulated with appropriate reactive chemical groups, as already described, which can be activated by heat, atmospheric moisture or other means to produce the desired end product.

Polymeric silicones are extensively used in applications which require thermal stability and long-lasting retention of critical properties. They can be produced in various degrees of hardness and resiliency by combining prepolymer fluids, which contain reactive functional groups, in such ways as to form giant polymer networks with those desired properties. 

Because of their chemical inertness, low surface tension and antisurfactant activity polyorganosiloxane (silicone) oils have found varied applications in medicine. These have included use as an artificial lubricant for arthritic joints191, as a means of soft tissue augmentation, and as an additive in creams and oils for burn treatment. Di-methylpolysiloxane fluids have been injected as replacement for aqueous and vitreous humour in eyes. Reactive organosilicon compounds comprise a new class of potential prophylactic and therapeutic agents192. Protection against atherosclerosis...
