The difference between the application range of methyl MQ silicone resin liquid and powder is mainly reflected in the processing method, dispersion and adaptability in specific fields, as follows:
1. Application range of liquid methyl MQ silicone resin
Silicone rubber reinforcement and antireflection: The liquid form can be directly mixed with the silicone rubber matrix without additional grinding or dispersion steps, simplifying the process.For example, when used in LED packaging silicone, its high light transmittance (up to more than 98%) and fluidity can ensure that the packaging layer is uniform and free of bubbles, while improving the mechanical strength of silicone rubber.
Optical materials and electronic packaging: As the base material for optical lenses and optical fiber coatings, the liquid form is easy to apply and cure, forming a transparent and weather-resistant coating.In the packaging of electronic components, its high temperature resistance (-30℃ to +250℃) and electrical insulation can protect the chip from environmental erosion.
Cosmetics and coatings: Liquids can be directly added to cosmetic formulas to form a smooth, scratch-resistant surface protective film to eliminate the viscosity of silicone oil.In coatings, its low volatile content (<0.35%) and impurity content (<50ppm) can improve the weather resistance and UV resistance of the coating.
2. Application range of powder methyl MQ silicone resin
Rubber reinforcement and packing: The powder form needs to be dispersed into the rubber matrix by grinding or high-speed stirring, but it can provide a higher reinforcement effect.For example, in hot-vulcanized silicone rubber, powder MQ silicone resin can significantly improve tensile strength and wear resistance, and is suitable for high-end seals and auto parts.
Mold release agent and waterproofing agent: The powder can be mixed with a solvent or emulsion to form a more durable mold release agent, especially suitable for the mold release of high-adhesion resins (such as polyurethane and epoxy resin).In the field of waterproofing agents, the hydrophobicity of powder MQ silicone resin (contact angle>90°) can protect building materials from rainwater erosion for a long time.
Cosmetics and pressure-sensitive adhesives: The powder can be used as a peeling force regulator for pressure-sensitive adhesives, and the effect of heavy peeling or light peeling can be achieved by adjusting the vinyl content.In cosmetics, the powder form can improve the hiding power and gloss of the product, and it is suitable for high-demand products such as foundation and lipstick.
3. The core reason for the difference in application scope
Dispersion: The liquid can be directly mixed, which is suitable for scenes that require rapid processing or high light transmittance; the powder needs to be dispersed, but it can provide a higher filling amount and reinforcing effect.
Compatibility: The organic part of the liquid MQ silicone resin (such as methyl) has better compatibility with substrates such as silicone rubber and coatings; the powder improves the binding force with polar materials through surface modification.
Process requirements: Liquids are suitable for continuous production (such as coating and perfusion), and powders are more suitable for batch production (such as mixing and grinding).
