Hydrogen Silicone Oil CAS 63148-57-2

Hydrogen Silicone Oil is supplied as a reactive silicone fluid containing Si–H functionality, used in silicone chemistry as a crosslinking and modification component. It is not a single molecular compound but a polymeric siloxane material with controlled hydrogen content designed for reactivity in addition and curing systems.

In industrial applications, it is commonly used in silicone rubber crosslinking (hydrosilylation systems), water-repellent treatments for textiles and construction materials, and as a modifier in coatings and release systems. It is typically supplied as a clear liquid with varying viscosity and hydrogen content depending on application requirements. Standard packaging, bulk supply, and technical documentation such as COA, TDS, and SDS are available to support industrial use.

Packaging

Hydrogen Silicone Oil is supplied as a liquid and typically packed in sealed steel drums, plastic drums, or IBC containers suitable for silicone fluids. Packaging is designed to prevent moisture ingress and contamination, which may affect reactivity. Bulk supply options are available depending on order volume and logistics arrangements.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep containers tightly sealed and protected from moisture, as contact with water or acidic/alkaline substances may affect stability. Avoid exposure to heat sources and direct sunlight. Maintain proper packaging integrity during storage and transportation.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

  • Q:

    What is Hydrogen Silicone Oil CAS 63148-57-2?

    A: Hydrogen Silicone Oil, also known as methylhydrogen silicone oil, hydrogen polysiloxane, or polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS), is a reactive silicone fluid containing Si-H groups. It is a polymeric material whose viscosity, molecular weight, and hydrogen content vary by grade.
  • Q:

    Why is Si-H content an important specification?

    A: The Si-H content determines the available reactive hydrogen for hydrosilylation, crosslinking, and water-repellent performance. Different grades are selected by hydrogen content, viscosity, and reactivity, so the correct grade should be matched to the silicone formulation and curing ratio.
  • Q:

    How is Hydrogen Silicone Oil used as a crosslinking agent?

    A: In addition-cure silicone systems, its Si-H groups react with vinyl-functional silicone polymers through platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation. This reaction forms a crosslinked silicone elastomer or coating, making Hydrogen Silicone Oil a key component in silicone rubber, gel, and surface-treatment formulations.
  • Q:

    What are the main applications of Hydrogen Silicone Oil?

    A: It is used as a crosslinking agent in silicone rubber and elastomer systems, and as a water-repellent treatment for textiles, paper, construction materials, powders, and other surfaces. It also functions as a modifier in coatings, release agents, and silicone-based intermediates.
  • Q:

    How should Hydrogen Silicone Oil be stored?

    A: Keep it in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sunlight, and ignition sources. It should be protected from moisture, acids, and alkalis because Si-H-containing silicones can react and release hydrogen gas under certain conditions.
