LF-OHP Silanol Terminated Polydimethylsiloxane
CAS NO.: 70131-67-8
Silfluo LF-OHP is a series of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane polymers (CAS 70131-67-8), also known in the industry as OH Polymer or 107 Base, available in viscosity grades from 750 to 80,000 mPa·s.
Silanol (Si–OH) end groups on both chain termini react with alkoxy, acetoxy, oxime, or amine crosslinkers at room temperature under ambient moisture, forming the cured siloxane elastomer network of RTV silicone rubber systems. The PDMS backbone imparts electrical insulation, UV and ozone resistance, and thermal stability across a service temperature range of −60°C to 200°C to the cured elastomer.
Viscosity is the primary selection parameter, determining the molecular weight of the base polymer, the mechanical properties of the cured elastomer (higher MW — higher elongation and tear strength), and the processing viscosity of the formulated compound.
