Classification of silicone can be divided according to its morphology and chemical structure, mainly including the following categories:
Silicone oil: Silicone oil is a polysiloxane with a chain structure of different polymerization degrees. It can be a colorless (or light yellow), odorless, non-toxic liquid with excellent heat resistance, electrical insulation, weather resistance and hydrophobicity. Silicone oil can be divided into methyl silicone oil, ethyl silicone oil, phenyl silicone oil, etc. according to chemical structure, and can be divided into damping silicone oil, diffusion pump silicone oil, hydraulic oil, etc. according to use.
Silicone rubber: Silicone rubber is a high molecular weight polysiloxane, commonly used for high temperature vulcanization. It has excellent elasticity, high temperature resistance and cold resistance. According to the use, silicone rubber can be divided into high temperature vulcanized silicone rubber, liquid silicone rubber, etc.
Silicone resin: Silicone resin is a linear structure polymer containing active groups, which can be used for further curing. It has the characteristics of chemical corrosion resistance, heat resistance and hydrophobicity.
Silane coupling agent: This type of organosilicon compound is mainly used to enhance the adhesion and stability of materials.
These classified silicone materials have a wide range of applications in industry and daily life, such as electronic packaging, aerospace, building sealing, personal care and other fields.
