MQ resins are the kinetic reaction products of silicates with trimethyl siloxy groups which generates a silicon-based, cross-linked network having trimethyl silyl functionality on the surface. These types of silicones are often referred to as “MQ resins” because they are built of a network of tetrafunctional silicon atoms (Q group – silicon surrounded by four oxygen groups) end capped with mono functional silicon (M group – silicon with one oxygen group and three alkyls).
