Silico® Methyl Silicone Resins
Methyl Silicone Resin is a class of thermosetting organosilicon polymers based on methyl-substituted siloxane units. Engineered with a combination of M (R₃SiO₁/₂) and Q (SiO₄/₂) structural units, this resin type delivers superior heat resistance, film-forming ability, and hydrophobicity. As part of the Silico® silicone resin portfolio, methyl silicone resins are designed for use in high-performance industrial coatings, electrical insulation, release agents, and structural adhesives.

Summary
Methyl silicone resins primarily contain methyl substituents but encompass a wide variety of derivatives with enhanced functionality.
Classification is mainly based on substituent groups: pure methyl, methyl with functional groups, and functionalized modified types.
These resins serve critical roles across coatings, sealants, electronic encapsulation, and advanced material applications due to their diverse properties.
Methyl Silicone Resin FAQ
A: MQ resin is a subtype of methyl silicone resin built strictly from M and Q units. Broader methyl silicone resins may include additional units (D/T) or be modified for specific applications.
A: Pure MQ resins require thermal curing. UV-curable versions are available via acrylate- or vinyl-modified variants.
A: Aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylene, as well as alcohols and ketones depending on the formulation.
A: Yes. Methyl silicone resins offer superior resistance to UV, oxidation, and water, making them ideal for long-term outdoor applications.
A: Store in a cool, dry, and sealed container. Recommended shelf life is 12 months under proper storage.

How to Choose Vinyl Silicone Oil？
When selecting vinyl silicone oil for your application, consider the following key factors to ensure optimal performance:
Viscosity: Choose based on your application—low viscosity for spreading and high viscosity for lubrication.
Vinyl Content: Adjust for desired reactivity, as the vinyl group enhances crosslinking and curing.
Temperature Stability: Ensure the oil can handle the required temperature range for your application.
Chemical Compatibility: Ensure the oil is compatible with other chemicals in your environment.
Application Type: Match the oil to your specific use, such as in silicone rubber, adhesives, or coatings.
These factors will help you select the right vinyl silicone oil for your needs.
