Acryl-Terminated, Siloxane Into Network — IOTA 2220 Redefining UV Cure Coating New Crosslink

Hits: 105 img

In UV-curable coatings, inks and resin modification, ordinary methyl silicone oil lacks reactive groups and only blends physically, migrating to surface under heat/friction causing tack and bloom; amino silicone has poor compatibility with acrylates, causing craters; pure acrylate resin is brittle at low temp with high surface energy, weak hand-feel and stain resistance; small silane couplers carry no silicone oil chain for tethering. For specs demanding "acrylate end-group crosslinkable + PDMS chain into network + durable slip and stain resistance", a strictly controlled acrylate-terminated silicone oil places UV reaction and organosilicone surface performance at one molecular node. Addressing this, Anhui IOTA Silicone Oil Co., Ltd. launches IOTA 2220 Acrylic Silicone Oil. Acrylate-group terminated polydimethylsiloxane compound. Appearance yellow viscous liquid. Active content 99.9%. MW 2000/4000. Dosage: durable slip 0.2-1%, anti-soiling 2-6%, resin modification 1-6%. For UV cure systems: acrylate end reacts with UV resin to introduce siloxane segments into film surface; lifts weatherability, durable hand-feel, stain resistance, low-temp toughness. Type UV. 25kg plastic drum or 200kg iron drum. Non-dangerous transport. Shelf life 1 year. Brand IOTA. System Positioning: Acrylic Silicone Oil Among Reactive Silicone Oils Within functional silicone oils, IOTA 2220 is an acrylate-terminated reactive PDMS, distinct from plain methyl silicone (no reactive group, physical migration), amino silicone (cationic, poor acrylate compatibility), hydride silicone (needs Pt catalysis), silane coupler (small molecule, no oil chain), acrylate-modified polyether silicone (hydrophilic side chain, leveling-focused). IOTA 2220 uses terminal acrylate double bond to enter UV free-radical polymerization directly, positioning as "UV coating crosslink modifier + acrylate resin comonomer + film-surface siloxane enrichment builder", rather than physical slip additive. Molecular Architecture: Acrylate-Terminated PDMS + Active 99.9% + MW 2000/4000 IOTA 2220 core is linear PDMS with terminal acrylate functionality. Under photoinitiator and UV light, acrylate double bond opens and copolymerizes with acrylate reactive diluents in UV resin, embedding PDMS flexible chain into the 3D crosslinked network by covalent bond, enriched toward film surface. Active content 99.9% means few inert impurities consume radicals, not slowing cure; MW 2000/4000 tunes siloxane chain length and crosslink density—lower MW faster surface migration, higher MW more tethering and flexibilization; yellow viscous liquid fits direct addition into UV formulas. Performance Leap: From "Physical Silicone Migration" to "Acryl-Terminated Network Lock" With IOTA 2220, four-way synergy: network lock—silicone chained in by acrylate end, eliminating migration/bloom of physical oils; durable slip—0.2-1% builds siloxane-rich surface layer, slip persists under friction; anti-soil—2-6% gives low-surface-energy dense layer, stains hard to adhere and easy to clean; weather & low-temp—Si-O bond resists UV aging, flexible siloxane relieves UV resin brittleness. Application Penetration: From UV Coating Slip to Resin Copolymer Modification IOTA 2220 covers three core scenarios.
  • UV cure coatings/inks: overprint varnish, wood coating, industrial topcoat—durable slip and anti-soil; add 0.2-1% (slip) or 2-6% (anti-soil) into UV base.
  • Acrylate resin modification: solution/emulsion polymerization—siloxane segment introduction; blend 1-6% with acrylate monomers.
  • Surface control: anti-block, slip, low surface energy—surface enrichment after acrylate crosslink.
⚠️ Taboo: reactive in UV free-radical system, pair with suitable photoinitiator and verify cure speed; oxygen inhibits surface radical cure, use nitrogen blanket or oxygen-barrier coat if needed; test compatibility with unfamiliar resin to avoid craters; non-DG but store sealed dark, ventilated dry warehouse, away from fire/heat; shelf life 1 year, retest after expiry. IOTA Technical Guide: 25kg Plastic Drum / 200kg Iron Drum, Non-DG IOTA 2220 is yellow viscous liquid in 25kg plastic or 200kg iron drum. In UV systems add at any stage or post-add, disperse under medium-low shear; for resin mod pre-blend with acrylate monomers. Fill clean dry container, store ventilated dry warehouse; non-dangerous transport; shelf life 1 year. Industry Insight: Acrylic silicone oil selection is not the higher dosage the better, but using acrylate end for crosslink mode, MW for surface enrichment and flexibility, active content for cure efficiency, system compatibility for crater risk. For UV coating formulators and acrylate resin chemists, IOTA 2220 uses one acryl-terminated silicone oil across UV crosslink and surface siloxanation, taking acryl-terminated and siloxane-into-network as batch-checkable anchors, securing slip/anti-soil and cure stability simultaneously.
