Silicone Hydroxy Polymer

SS-HTF is Silicone fluids with reactive hydroxyl group in various viscosities having unique combination of properties, which give superior performance in a variety of applications. They are clear, colorless, and odorless. These fluids are manufactured in the viscosity range from 20 cps to 60000 cps. Intermediate viscosity grades are also available upon request.

SS-HTF Silicone fluids are soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents and aromatic solvents. They have limited solubility in other solvents (Solubility here depending on viscosity).

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

• Polishes (High gloss for automobile and furniture)
• Release agent (Plastic / rubber / non-ferrous die casting)
• Heat Transfer
• Power Transmission
• Hydraulic Fluids
• Dielectric Fluids
• Repellency for aerated cement slabs/bricks
• Paint and Coating Additives
• Lubricants
• Textile Finishing
• Thread Lubricants

UNIQUE PROPERTIES

1. LOW VISCOSITY / TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT: They exhibit a smaller degree of change over a wider temperature range than petroleum oils.

2. THERMAL STABILITY: Silicone fluids show excellent stability when exposed to high temperatures. They are stable from -40°C to 200°C for extended periods and can exceed this for short periods.

3. CHEMICAL INERTNESS: They are chemically inert to most common materials.

4. LOW FLAMMABILITY: Flash point is in the range of 250°C to 300°C and auto ignition temperature is ranging from 438°C to 460°C.

5. LOW SURFACE TENSION: It have unusually low surface tensions that provide easy and efficient spreading, high surface activity and low internal cohesive energies.

6. DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES: Electrical grade silicone fluids offer excellent dielectric properties that are maintained for prolonged periods, even under adverse operating conditions.

STORAGE & HANDLING

It is recommended that normal safety precautions be taken while handling the product. The material should be stored in original containers in a cool place and protected from direct exposure to sunlight.
