1. Core physical and chemical properties of the product


Product hydrogen-terminated phenolic silicone oil 231 is a colorless transparent viscous liquid with a specific gravity ranging from 0.99 to 1.00. At 20 degrees Celsius, its refractive index ranges from 1.50 to 1.55, and the viscosity is 1 to 10 square millimeters per second at 25 degrees Celsius. The flash point is above 110 degrees Celsius, and the active hydrogen content is 0.20% to 0.60%.


Low viscosity is one of the prominent technical advantages of this product. Its ultra-low viscosity of 1 to 10 square millimeters per second enables excellent fluidity and wettability at room temperature, allowing it to quickly penetrate and fill fine gaps, particularly suitable for precise encapsulation, impregnation coating, and crosslinking applications of micro-structured components. The high refractive index of 1.50 to 1.55, which is highly compatible with the refractive indices of most phenolic silicone rubbers and phenolic silicone resins, ensures that the final product's optical transparency is not reduced when used as a crosslinking agent. It is particularly important in applications with strict optical performance requirements such as LED packaging, optical lenses, and optical waveguide devices. The adjustable range of active hydrogen content from 0.20% to 0.60% provides flexible control options for formulation engineers according to different crosslinking density requirements. The short-chain structure with a molecular weight range of 333 to 1,000 enables rapid diffusion and reaction during the crosslinking process, helping to shorten the curing time and improving production efficiency.


2. Excellent compatibility and optical matching characteristics


Product hydrogen-terminated phenolic silicone oil 231 can achieve good compatibility with various organic silicone materials such as methyl silicone oil, liquid silicone rubber, phenolic silicone rubber, and phenolic silicone resins.
