Silicone oligomers have relatively low molecular weights with a 3D structure. Functional groups include methyl’s, phenyls, alkoxysilyls and reactive functional groups

Group A:  Alkoxysilyl products in Group A may have methyl groups alone, or both methyl and phenyl groups.  Methyl Group A types hydrolyze easily and can be used as room temperature/moisture cure coating agents that form hard coatings with excellent water repellency.  Methyl/Phenyl Group A types also have excellent compatibility with organic resins so they can be used as reactive or non-reactive diluents that impart flexibility to coatings.

Group AR:  This type of products has organic reactive functional groups and the alkoxysilyl groups so they can be used to promote adhesion between organic and inorganic materials.

Group R:  Group R oligomers only contain epoxy groups as their functional reactive groups and can be formulated to cure with acid anhydride, photo-cationic or thermal-cationic systems.  These Group R type products have excellent heat resistance and low shrinkage during curing.
