LS-H12 Dihydroxydiphenylsilane
CAS NO. 947-42-2
Silfluo LS-H12 is Diphenylsilanediol (DPSD), a difunctional phenylsilanol.
The molecule contains two phenyl groups and two silanol (Si–OH) groups on a single silicon atom.
The silanol groups undergo condensation with silanols, silanediols, or alkoxy-functional silanes under acid or base catalysis to form siloxane linkages.
The diphenyl substitution raises refractive index and improves thermal and oxidative stability of derived siloxane networks relative to dimethyl analogs.
Used as reactive monomer or chain modifier in phenyl silicone resin synthesis, sol-gel network formation, silica anti-structuring in HCR compounding, and as difunctional modifier in specialty polymer systems.
