LIOSIL® eco MQ 803

1 of 28 products in this brand
LIOSIL® eco MQ 803 is derived from the co-hydrolysis of tetraalkoxy silane (Q unit) and trimethylalkoxy silane (M unit). Its chemical structure can be described as a three-dimensional network of polysilicic acid units that are terminated with trimethylsilyl groups. Additionally, LIOSIL® eco MQ 803 contains residual ethoxy and hydroxy functional groups.

Application Details

LIOSIL® eco MQ 803 is an excellent additive to enhance the water repellent properties of domestic care systems in polish applications. Using LIOSIL® eco MQ 803, soil resistance and water repellency of the substrate can be distinctly improved. Furthermore, LIOSIL® eco MQ 803 leads to a long lasting protection. The good film-forming property makes LIOSIL® eco MQ 803 compatible with other polishing actives such as waxes and silicone fluids.

Properties
  • The average molecular weight can be exactly controlled by the ratio of M and Q units. This ratio approx. is 0.67 for LIOSIL® eco MQ 803. In manufacturing LIOSIL® eco MQ 803, 100 % of the fossil-based raw materials are substituted by renewable raw materials (biomethanol) based on a REDcert² biomass balance approach audited by TÜV NORD.
  • LIOSIL® eco MQ 803 is a pure white powder manufactured substantially free of volatile impurities. It therefore only contains traces of aliphatic hydrocarbons. According to its low content of fine dust particles and its uniform spherical particle shape, LIOSIL® eco MQ 803 exhibits excellent rheological properties (flowability).
  • Therefore, common powder processing techniques like bottling, conveying, and metering are simplified. LIOSIL® eco MQ 803 can be dissolved in polydimethylsiloxanes or further appropriate solvents like non-aromatic hydrocarbons or lower alcohols. The solubility of WACKER® MQ 803 TF is excellent.
