At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we understand that the performance of a finished product is intrinsically linked to the quality of its foundational materials. For silicone sealants, the primary raw material is often a hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, commonly known as silanol-terminated silicone oil or OH Polymer. This specific type of silicone fluid is critical for formulating sealants that offer exceptional durability, adhesion, and environmental resistance.

The silanol (hydroxyl) end groups on these polydimethylsiloxane chains are the key to their functionality in sealant applications. These reactive sites allow the silicone fluid to crosslink, typically through reaction with atmospheric moisture or a catalyst, forming a robust, flexible, and impermeable elastomeric network. This curing process is what transforms a liquid silicone fluid into a solid, weather-resistant sealant capable of withstanding a wide range of environmental stresses. The controlled hydroxyl content and viscosity of the silanol-terminated silicone oil directly influence the curing speed, final hardness, and overall mechanical properties of the sealant.

The versatility of silanol-terminated silicone oil as a silicone sealant raw material makes it suitable for numerous demanding applications, including construction (window and facade sealing), automotive manufacturing (gasketing and sealing), and electronics (encapsulation and potting). Its inherent properties, such as excellent UV resistance, thermal stability, and flexibility at low temperatures, ensure that sealants formulated with this base material provide long-lasting protection and sealing integrity. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides high-purity silanol-terminated silicone oils that meet the exacting standards required for these critical applications.
