Reactive Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) Series

Modified polydimethylsiloxanes with active terminal groups that react chemically with resin systems, enabling chemical incorporation of PDMS chain segments.

9 Product Models

This table is intended for preliminary selection by functional group, terminal structure and product model. The final model should be determined in combination with the resin system, reaction method, molecular weight, functional group content and target performance.

Single-end functionalized PDMS:Better suited as a reactive modifier or end-capping agent; while introducing flexible siloxane chain segments, it has a relatively small effect on the crosslink density of the system.

Double-end functionalized PDMS:Can participate in chain extension, crosslinking or network construction, and is generally suitable for systems that require stronger reaction participation, toughening or permanent modification.

Practical selection advice:Carry out sample validation in combination with the base resin, curing mechanism, target molecular weight, functional group equivalent weight, compatibility and final performance requirements.
