LF-HF12 Hydrogen-Containing Fluorosilicone Fluid
Silfluo LF-HF12 is a series of Si–H functional fluorosilicone polymers combining trifluoropropyl-bearing fluorosiloxane units with reactive silicon-hydrogen (Si–H) groups, used as crosslinkers in Pt-catalyzed addition-cure fluorosilicone elastomer systems.
The fluorosiloxane backbone provides resistance to hydrocarbon oils, fuels, and polar and non-polar solvents; the Si–H groups undergo hydrosilylation with vinyl-functional fluorosilicone base polymers under Pt catalysis to form the cured crosslinked network.
Four grades cover two structural types — methyl-terminated (LF-HF121, LF-HF122: pendant Si–H) and end-and-side combined (LF-HF12A, LF-HF12B: terminal + pendant Si–H) — at varying hydrogen contents, allowing selection based on required crosslink density, cure rate, and network topology.
