In the field of high-end polymer material development, balancing material flexibility, wear resistance, and processing performance is key to technological innovation. The recently launched Dual-End Hydroxypropyl Silicone Oil IOTA 2030 by IOTA Chemical, as a reactive silicone prepolymer, provides an ideal functional building block for synthesizing silicone-polyurethane/polyester block polymers.

Significance of Technological Breakthrough
IOTA 2030, with its active terminal primary hydroxyl groups, can be incorporated into the main chain of polymerization reactions such as polyurethane and polyester as a functional segment, achieving chemical bonding between the excellent performance of silicone and the main polymer structure. This innovative design breaks the limitations of traditional physical blending and offers a new pathway for the molecular design of high-performance polymer materials.

Notable Modification Effects

• Enhanced Low-Temperature Performance: Significantly improves the flexibility and impact resistance of polymers in low-temperature environments.

• Improved Wear Resistance: The introduction of silicone segments enhances the surface wear resistance of materials.

• Optimized Processing Performance: Improves polymer melt fluidity and processing window.

• Increased Temperature Resistance: Enhances the thermal stability and long-term performance of materials.

Multiple Specifications Meet Diverse Needs
The product series covers five different molecular weight specifications (500-4300), with hydroxyl content ranging from 4.5% to 0.8%, providing precise selection options for various application scenarios. Special specifications can also be customized according to customer requirements, demonstrating the company's strong R&D and production capabilities.

Broad Application Areas
This product can not only be used in the synthesis of high-performance polyurethane elastomers but also serves as functional additives such as release agents and demolding agents, playing an important role in silicone rubber, specialty coatings, and other fields. Adding a small amount (3%-30%) to replace traditional polyols can significantly enhance the comprehensive performance of the final product.

Far-Reaching Industry Impact
Industry experts believe that the launch of IOTA 2030 marks a significant step forward for China in the field of silicone functional modification and is expected to drive technological upgrades and product innovation in high-end application areas such as automotive interiors, electronic encapsulation, and medical devices. The product has entered the mass production stage and is anticipated to bring new development opportunities to related industries.
