LF-H101H High Hydrogen Silicone Fluid
Silfluo LF-H101H is 100% active polymethylhydrogensiloxane (PMHS, CAS 63148-57-2), a linear polysiloxane with reactive Si–H groups distributed along the backbone at hydrogen content ≥1.5 wt%.
Under platinum catalysis, pendant Si–H groups undergo hydrosilylation with olefinic double bonds; under tin or acid catalysis, they undergo dehydrogenative condensation with hydroxyl-bearing substrates, releasing hydrogen gas. Both reaction pathways form covalent Si–C or Si–O–substrate bonds respectively.
The 100% active, solvent-free fluid is used as crosslinker in addition-cure silicone elastomers, as synthetic intermediate for modified silicone fluids, and as hydrophobing agent applied directly or via emulsion to inorganic and organic substrates.
