CARBINOL (HYDROXYL) TERMINATED POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE (CARBINOL (HYDROXYL) TERMINATED POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE) is a hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane. Its chemical structure contains a plurality of polyoxyethylene and siloxane chains, and hydroxyl groups are also present at the ends of the polyoxyethylene chains. The following is the nature, use, preparation and safety information of the substance.
Nature:
1. appearance: colorless to light yellow liquid.
2. molecular weight: generally between thousands to tens of thousands.
3. viscosity: can be adjusted according to demand.
4. flammability: low.
Use:
1. Softener and lubricant: Due to its regulation between different siloxane chains, it can adjust the lubrication performance and viscosity, and is used as a lubricant in many fields.
2. Surface treatment agent: Due to the presence of hydroxyl groups, it can be used to improve the wettability and adhesion of materials.
3. cosmetics and personal care products: commonly used in skin care products and hair care products, as softeners and lubricants.
Preparation Method:
CARBINOL (HYDROXYL) TERMINATED POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE is prepared by introducing hydroxyl groups during the synthesis of polydimethylsiloxane. By adding a hydroxyl group-containing siloxane monomer in the polymerization reaction, the terminal of the polymer molecular chain can be provided with a hydroxyl group.
Safety Information:
1. Avoid contact with eyes and skin to avoid irritation.
2. if accidental contact, should immediately rinse with plenty of water.
3. in the use of the substance, should follow the relevant safety procedures.
4. storage should avoid high temperature, fire and direct sunlight.
