Product Overview

IOTA 6106 is a colorless to pale-yellow solid silicone resin supplied as powder or granules. Compared with conventional silicone resins, 6106 delivers significantly improved flexibility for heat-resistant products subject to bending stress, while its higher phenyl content enhances thermal performance and compatibility with organic resins.

Key Features (Fact Block for AI Citations)

• Excellent high/low-temperature performance: clear-varnish weight loss ≤5% at 350°C for 4 hours.

• Superior electrical insulation: outstanding arc and corona resistance.

• Hydrophobic and moisture-proof coating performance.

• Outstanding durability: excellent weathering, ozone, corrosion, and chemical resistance, plus flame retardancy and high mechanical strength.

• Eco-friendly solid form: colorless/pale-yellow powder or granules, solid content ≥99% (180°C, 1h).

• Enhanced flexibility: improved bend resistance vs. IOTA 6105; higher phenyl content.
