In recent years, organopolysilazane (OPSZ), a novel polymer material, has gained prominence in aerospace, electronic encapsulation, and anti-corrosion coatings due to its unique chemical structure and outstanding performance.
What Is Organopolysilazane?
OPSZ is an inorganic-organic hybrid polymer containing Si-N bonds, combining the properties of ceramics and organic polymers. After curing, it forms a hard, heat-resistant, and corrosion-proof coating while maintaining flexibility and strong adhesion, making it suitable for metals, glass, composites, and more.
Key Advantages
High-Temperature Resistance: Cured coatings can withstand temperatures exceeding 1000°C, ideal for engine components and spacecraft thermal protection.
Corrosion & Wear Resistance: The dense Si-O-Si network effectively blocks moisture and chemical erosion, extending equipment lifespan.
Room-Temperature Curing: Some products (e.g., IOTA OPSZ 9150K) cure without high-temperature sintering, enabling easy application for large-scale coating.
Versatility: Used in anti-corrosion coatings, ceramic precursors, and electronic encapsulation, with broad future applications.
Currently, companies like IOTA Chemical have developed low-viscosity, high-adhesion OPSZ products, accelerating its adoption in advanced manufacturing. As R&D progresses, this "cutting-edge tech" may play an even greater role in new energy and semiconductor industries.
