High-hydrogen-content silicone oil is changing the protection logic of many industries with its unique properties. This transparent liquid, containing reactive Si-H bonds, can quickly cross-link to form films at low temperatures under the action of metal salt catalysts, providing an "invisible waterproof coat" for materials such as rubber, fabrics, glass, and metals.
The hydrogen atoms on its molecular chain make it highly reactive. It forms a dense siloxane film with catalysts at 60-80℃, which can adhere to the material surface and penetrate into the capillaries of porous substrates like cement and stone, achieving long-term waterproofing without affecting breathability.
Currently, it has been applied in many fields: the textile industry uses it to treat outdoor tent fabrics, making them waterproof and breathable; the construction industry incorporates it into concrete protectants to enhance wall impermeability; the electronics industry uses its insulation to protect precision components from moisture. It has good adhesion to smooth surfaces such as glass and ceramics, and tableware treated with it is easy to clean oil stains.
Experts say its application will continue to expand and is expected to play a greater role in high-end fields such as new energy battery sealing and medical protective materials in the future, becoming an "invisible driving force" for the upgrading of multiple industries.
