Silaplane™(Reactive Silicones)
Silaplane™ is a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) having a reactive group at one or both ends of the linear siloxane chain.
■Characteristics of Silaplane™
♦ |
Excellent properties of silicone can be imparted to organic resins. |
♦ |
By reacting Silaplane™ and organic substances, silicone properties can be long-lasting. |
■Types of Silaplane™
♦ |
Silaplane™ has two types, mono-terminal and bi-terminal. They can be selected according to the user's purpose because they differ in properties that can be imparted to resins. |
● Mono-terminal Type |
 |
● Bi-terminal Type |
 |
■Reactive Groups
♦ |
Reactive groups can be selected according to the user's application |
|
Polyamide |
Polyimide |
Epoxy resin |
Urea resin |
Urethane resin |

■The Relationship Between Molecular Weight and Properties of Silaplane™
♦ |
Generally the higher molecular weight of Silaplane™, the stronger silicone properties but lower compatibility with solvents or monomers. |
|
|
|
The molecular weight can be controlled according to a demand of a customer. Please contact us.
|
■Applications of Silaplane™
♦ |
By using resin modified with Silaplane™, it is possible to impart oxygen permeability to contact lenses or to impart water repellency, antifouling property and surface slipperiness to coatings and artificial leather. |
 |
|
Contact Lenses (imparting oxygen permeability etc.) |
 |
|
Artificial Leather (imparting slipperiness etc.) |
 |
|
Functional Paints (imparting water repellency etc.) |
