Used primarily in Industrial / Manufacturing, and Plasticizers & Polymer applications, Vinyl silicone polymer is specifically used in filler, polymer industry, and sealant.
Vinyl silicone polymer is also known as polydimethylsiloxane, vinyl end blocked. Siloxanes are chemical compounds with a backbone of alternating silicon (Si) and oxygen (O) atoms, each silicon atom bearing one or several organic groups. Siloxanes are building blocks for silicone products, such as silicone fluids, silicone elastomers, or silicone resins used for paints. Vinyl silicone polymers are generally used to make silicone elastomers, sealants, or putty (DEPA 2005).
Chemical Synonyms Polydimethylsiloxane, vinyl end blocked; Vinyl dimethylsiloxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane; Siloxanes and Silicones, di-Me, vinyl group-terminated
