Can silicone resin dissolve in alcohol?


 Many people have some questions about its performance. For example, can silicone resin dissolve in alcohol? Next, silicone resin manufacturers will introduce their knowledge in this area. Let's follow this article to find out.


Self-drying silicone resins are insoluble in ethanol, nor soluble in any alcohols. Generally, silicone resins can only be limitedly dissolved in strong or alkaline organic solvents such as DMF and THF when heated. The self-drying of silicone resin is a self-crosslinking process, and non-solvent volatilization.


Organosilicon, or organosilicon compound, refers to a compound that contains si-c bonds and at least one organic group is directly connected to the silicon atom. It is customary to combine the organic group with the silicon atom through oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, etc. The connected compound is also regarded as an organosilicon compound. Among them, polysiloxane composed of silicon-oxygen bond (-si-0-si-) is the most numerous, most researched and most widely used type among organosilicon compounds, accounting for more than 90% of the total amount. .


Can silicone resin dissolve in alcohol? You will know after reading it!
Silicone resin is a highly cross-linked polyorganosiloxane with a network structure, usually methyltrichlorosilane, dimethyldichlorosilane, phenyltrichlorosilane, diphenyldichlorosilane or


Various mixtures of methylphenyldichlorosilane, in the presence of organic solvents such as toluene, are hydrolyzed at a relatively low temperature to obtain acid hydrolysates. The initial product of hydrolysis is a mixture of cyclic, linear and cross-linked polymers.


It usually contains quite a lot of hydroxyl groups. The hydrolyzate is washed with water to remove the acid, and the neutral primary polycondensate is thermally oxidized in the air or further polycondensed in the presence of a catalyst, and finally forms a highly cross-linked three-dimensional network structure.


So that's the introduction of silicone resins that are soluble in alcohol. Through the above introduction, after understanding the self-drying of silicone resins, I believe everyone has a more in-depth understanding of silicone resins.
