Applications & Uses

Markets
Applications
  • In the synthesis or manufacturing of reactive siloxane polymers with random vinyl functionality on the backbone of the silicone polymer chain.
  • May be used in addition-curing silicone RTV or rubber formulations.
  • Very effective inhibitor for a platinum catalyzed addition-curing two-part RTV. When used as an inhibitor, Andisil® MVC is normally added to thecrosslinker part of the formulation. Its high boiling point and low evaporation rate provides and extremely stable working time at ambient temperatures of the formulated two-part RTV.
