Silmer® Q20 is a series of MQ resins which consist of tetrafunctional Q group ( silicon surrounded by four oxygen groups) endcapped with mono functional M group ( silicon with one oxygen group). These resins can vary in molecular weight and crosslinking density so that they can vary from liquid pourable resins at low molecular weight to film formers which are provided in solvent at higher molecular weights and crosslink densities.
