Evonik Polymer VS 100 comprises vinyl-terminated polydimethyl siloxanes available in various viscosity levels and molecular weights, featuring an impressively low content of volatile constituents. These polymers serve as essential base components in silicone formulations that cure through a platinum-catalyzed addition reaction with silicone crosslinkers containing SiH groups. The minimal presence of volatile constituents, combined with the crosslinking mechanism, ensures low curing shrinkage and prevents the formation of volatile or corrosive substances during the curing process.
