Which solvents can replace cyclohexanone as a silicone diluent?
In addition to the previously mentioned solvents such as xylene, toluene, and ethyl acetate, there are other solvents that can replace cyclohexanone as silicone diluents. The following is a description of these:
Silicone oil: A commonly used liquid silicone diluent. It lubricates and disperses silicone, while also reducing its viscosity and improving its flowability.
Ethanol: A common organic solvent that can be used to dilute some liquid silicones. Care should be taken to control the ethanol concentration when using it to avoid affecting the performance and stability of the silicone.
Propylene glycol: Another liquid silicone diluent, however, care should be taken to control its concentration to avoid adversely affecting the silicone's properties.
New environmentally friendly diluent S-7400: This is a colorless, odorless, low-halogen, transparent liquid with low toxicity and skin irritation. It is a slow-drying solvent. It effectively reduces product viscosity, improves coating leveling and adhesion, and enhances film flexibility. It also effectively inhibits oiliness and whitening. Alcohol mixed ester: A mixture composed of alcohol mixed ester as the main agent, with trace amounts of penetrant and tackifying resin added. It has the characteristics of high boiling point, low odor, environmental protection, fast positioning, high solubility and adhesion, etc. It can replace cyclohexanone in some silicone-related applications.
