Understanding the Core Components of Vinyl Terminated Silicone Fluid

Vinyl Terminated Silicone Fluid (VT-SF) is a specialized polymer widely recognized for its versatility in industrial applications, from silicone rubber production to advanced coatings. To achieve its exceptional performance, the formulation of VT-SF relies on a precise combination of raw materials, each contributing to its reactivity, stability, and functional versatility. Below, we break down the essential components and their roles in creating this high-performance material.


1. Base Polymer: Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) or Polymethylvinylsiloxane (PMVS)​

The backbone of VT-SF is typically a ​vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)​​ or ​polymethylvinylsiloxane (PMVS)​. These polymers provide the structural foundation, offering flexibility, thermal stability, and low surface tension. The vinyl end-groups act as reactive sites, enabling crosslinking with agents like hydrogen-containing silicones to form durable elastomers . For instance, VT-SF with 0.12–0.16% vinyl content (e.g., HS-10000 grade) balances viscosity and reactivity, making it ideal for injection molding or extrusion processes .


2. Crosslinking Agents: Hydrogen-Terminated Silicones

To transform VT-SF into a functional elastomer, ​hydrogen-terminated silicones​ (Si-H bonds) are introduced. These agents react with the vinyl groups under platinum catalysis, forming a three-dimensional network. This hydrosilylation process ensures minimal by-products and high crosslinking efficiency, critical for applications like medical-grade potting compounds or automotive seals .


3. Functional Additives

  • Reinforcing Fillers: Fumed silica or precipitated silica is added to enhance mechanical strength and thermal resistance. For example, VT-SF compounded with 25% silica improves tear resistance, making it suitable for high-stress environments like industrial molds .
  • Plasticizers: Low-viscosity modifiers adjust fluidity without compromising integrity, enabling applications in coatings or adhesives.
  • Stabilizers: UV absorbers and antioxidants prevent degradation under harsh conditions, extending product lifespan in outdoor or high-temperature settings .

4. Catalysts and Inhibitors

Platinum-based catalysts (e.g., 5000 ppm Pt) are essential for initiating crosslinking reactions. Inhibitors, such as acetylcyclohexanone, regulate curing speed to prevent premature solidification during storage or processing .


5. Customization and Quality Control

Leading manufacturers like ​Biyuan​ optimize VT-SF formulations by adjusting parameters such as viscosity (ranging from 90–66,000 cSt) and volatile content (<1.5%). Advanced purification techniques ensure compliance with standards like T/FSI018-2019, guaranteeing low levels of contaminants (D4/D5/D6 <500 ppm) for sensitive applications .


Applications Driving Demand

  • Silicone Rubber Production: VT-SF serves as the base for HTV and LSR rubbers, used in medical devices, cookware, and automotive seals .
  • Coatings and Adhesives: Its reactivity enables weather-resistant coatings for textiles and robust adhesives for electronics .
  • Hybrid Materials: Blending VT-SF with polyurethane or acrylics creates materials with enhanced toughness and UV resistance .
