There are many kinds of silicone resins, and according to different classification criteria, they can be divided into various types.The following is a detailed summary of the types of silicone resins：
1. Classification by the types of groups connected to the silicon atoms
Methyl silicone resin：
Methyl silicone resin has methyl as the main substitution group and has good heat resistance, cold resistance and electrical insulation.It is widely used in electronics, electrical appliances, construction and other fields, such as as a hardened coating, high temperature resistant mica adhesive and resistance coating.
Ethyl silicone resin：
Ethyl silicone resin has ethyl as the main substitution group, which has good flexibility and weather resistance.Its polymerization speed is relatively slow, but the ethyl group connected to the silicon atom in the siloxane chain can increase the solubility of the resin and reduce its hardness.
Phenyl silicone resin：
Phenyl silicone resin has phenyl as the main substitution group, which has high thermal stability and oxidation resistance.Due to its excellent insulation properties and hydrophobicity, phenyl silicone resin is widely used in aviation, aerospace, automobiles and other fields.
Methylphenylsilyl resin：
Methylphenylsilyl resin is a silicone resin that is jointly replaced by methyl and phenyl, and has the advantages of both.It performs well in terms of thermal elasticity, adhesion, and compatibility with organic and inorganic fillers, and is widely used in high-temperature electrical insulation paints, high-temperature coatings, and high-temperature adhesives.
Fluorosilicate resin：
Fluorosilicate resin is a modified silicone resin that introduces fluorine into the molecular chain of silicone resin. It has excellent weather resistance, chemical resistance and hydrophobicity, and is suitable for anti-corrosion, waterproof, oil-proof and other fields.
Vinyl silicone resin：
Vinyl silicone resin uses vinyl as the main substitution group, has good light-curing properties, and can be used in light-curing coatings, inks and other fields.
Amino silicone resin：
Amino silicone resin contains amino groups, which have good adhesion and chemical resistance, and can be used to improve the adhesion and durability of coatings.
Epoxy silicone resin：
Epoxy silicone resin contains epoxy groups, has good bonding properties and chemical resistance, and can be used to manufacture high-performance adhesives and coatings.
2. Classification by molecular structure
MT type silicone resin：
MT type silicone resin has a specific molecular structure, unique properties and application areas.
MQ type silicone resin：
MQ type silicone resin is composed of monofunctional links (M) and tetrafunctional links (Q). It has a special structure and is commonly used as a filler for siloxane pressure-sensitive adhesives, thickeners, and reinforcing fillers for liquid silicone rubber.
DT type silicone resin：
DT type silicone resin has a bifunctional group structure and has specific application properties.
3. Classification by physical form
Solid pure silicone resin：
Solid pure silicone resin is in a solid state, which is easy to store and transport, but it needs to be heated and melted when used.
Liquid pure silicone resin：
Liquid pure silicone resin is in a liquid state, easy to use, and can be directly used in coating, impregnation and other processes.
Solvent-containing liquid silicone resin：
The solvent-containing liquid silicone resin contains a solvent, which is easy to adjust the viscosity and construction performance, but it is necessary to pay attention to the volatilization of the solvent and environmental protection issues when using it.
4. Classification by whether it is modified or not
Pure siloxane resin：
Pure siloxane resin is composed of siloxane links and has not been replaced or modified by other groups.
Organic resin modified silicone resin：
Organic resin modified silicone resin is the introduction of other organic groups on the siloxane link or the copolymer, block and other modification treatments with other organic resins to improve the properties and application areas of silicone resin.Common modified organic resins include epoxy, acrylic, alkyd, polyester resin, etc.
There are many kinds of silicone resins, and each type has unique properties and application areas.In practical applications, it is necessary to choose the appropriate type of silicone resin according to the specific use environment and requirements.
