Silico® HF2050 Trimethylsilyl-Terminated Silicone Fluid
Silico® HF2050 is a trimethylsilyl-terminated methylhydrosiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copolymer (CAS 68037-59-2) with reactive Si-H groups. It’s used as a crosslinker in addition-cure systems like RTV-2 silicones, encapsulants, and elastomers, offering good stability and compatibility.
Product Overview
Silico® HF2050 is a trimethylsilyl-terminated methylhydrosiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copolymer (CAS No. 68037-59-2). It is a reactive silicone fluid featuring active Si-H (silicon-hydrogen) functionality, designed for use in platinum-catalyzed addition-curing systems. With tunable viscosity and hydrogen content, it acts as a highly effective crosslinking agent in RTV-2 silicones, electronic encapsulants, and silicone elastomers. The trimethylsilyl termination offers enhanced stability and compatibility with a variety of silicone matrices.
