Silicone polymerization inhibitors are substances that can inhibit the polymerization reaction of silicone under certain conditions or slow down its polymerization rate.
They play an important role in silicone-related industries. Reasonable selection and use of polymerization inhibitors can effectively improve the production and processing performance and storage stability of silicone products.
Silicone product production:
In the production process of silicone sealants, silicone potting materials, silicone rubber products, etc., adding an appropriate amount of polymerization inhibitor can ensure that the silicone raw materials maintain good fluidity and operability during storage and early processing, facilitate subsequent mixing, molding and other process operations, and prevent premature polymerization from causing product quality problems.
Silicone coatings:
prevent the silicone components in the coating from self-polymerization during storage, extend the shelf life of the coating, and ensure that it can be normally coated and cured to form a uniform and good-performance coating during use. For example, in some outdoor silicone protective coatings, polymerization inhibitors can ensure the stability of the coating during storage and transportation.
Silicone mold making:
When silicone is used to make molds, it needs to have a suitable operating time. The polymerization inhibitor can help control its polymerization time, so that the operator has enough time to perform operations such as pouring and demolding, and ensure the accuracy and quality of mold making.
