LF-MF10 Methoxy Silicone Oil
Silfluo LF-MF10 is a methoxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (CAS 68951-97-3) with reactive methoxy end groups on both chain termini and ultra-low viscosity of 3 mPa·s.
Terminal methoxy groups hydrolyze in the presence of ambient moisture to form silanols, which condense with each other or with substrate surface silanols to form siloxane crosslinks, releasing methanol as co-product. The bifunctional terminal reactivity incorporates the PDMS chain covalently into the moisture-cured network, preventing migration from the cured matrix.
Ultra-low viscosity (3 mPa·s) makes LF-MF10 useful as reactive diluent in alkoxy-cure RTV formulations — reducing compound viscosity without introducing non-reactive plasticizer that would bleed over time.
