Silicone resins, known for their high-temperature resistance, insulation, and weatherability, are widely used in industries and daily life. Based on chemical structure and applications, they are mainly categorized as follows:
1. Methyl Silicone Resins
Features: Methyl-dominated, high hardness, and heat resistance (200-250°C).
Applications: Coatings, ceramic glazes, high-temperature insulation.
2. Phenyl Silicone Resins
Features: Phenyl groups enhance flexibility and thermal stability (>300°C), with high refractive index.
Applications: LED encapsulation, high-temperature adhesives, aerospace coatings.
3. Methyl Phenyl Silicone Resins
Features: Combines rigidity and weather resistance, tolerating thermal cycling.
Applications: Automotive electronics potting, precision molds, high-end construction sealants.
4. Vinyl Silicone Resins
Features: Vinyl groups enable addition-curing, ideal for complex molding.
Applications: 3D printing materials, addition-cure silicone rubber, medical devices.
5. Modified Silicone Resins
Features: Hybridized with resins (epoxy, acrylic, etc.) for customized functions.
Applications: Mobile keypad coatings, composite paints, specialty adhesives.
With advancements in new energy and semiconductors, silicone resins will keep expanding their innovative applications!
