What are the functions of silicone treatment agents?

Silicone treatment agent is a multifunctional silicone adhesive treatment agent widely used in industries such as manufacturing, medical, and plastics, where silicone products are frequently used.

Its main functions are as follows:
1. Improved Adhesion and Bonding Performance: Silicone treatment agent can alter the inert surface of silicone, allowing it to better adhere to the substrate surface, thereby improving the adhesion between silicone and the substrate.

For bonding silicone to difficult-to-bond materials, pre-treatment of the silicone rubber surface increases the surface polarity of the silicone, resulting in a stronger and more stable bond.

2. Enhanced Surface Activity and Adhesion: Silicone treatment agent can increase the adhesion and abrasion resistance of silicone, allowing the adhesive to better adhere to the material surface, thus improving the bonding effect of silicone materials.

3. Maintained Stability and Aging Resistance: Silicone treated with silicone treatment agent can maintain its original properties and characteristics under various environments and is less prone to aging.

In the machinery manufacturing industry, silicone treatment agent can increase the elasticity and stability of silicone rubber at extreme low temperatures, improve its density and aging resistance, and achieve a longer service life.

IV. Improving Other Properties

In the food industry, silicone treatment agents can improve the texture and taste of food, making it smoother and more delicate, and adjusting its viscosity.

In the pharmaceutical industry, silicone treatment agents are used in the manufacture of artificial organs, test tubes, and other equipment, improving their corrosion resistance, surface smoothness, and hardness.

In the textile industry, silicone treatment agents can enhance the anti-fouling, antistatic, and radiation-resistant properties of fabrics, while also increasing their elasticity, making them softer and more comfortable.

V. Facilitating Process Implementation
Silicone treatment agents can also solve problems such as paint peeling, printing failure, and adhesive detachment in processes like double-sided adhesive application, printing, and heat transfer printing. For example, applying silicone treatment agent to a high-temperature silicone rubber sheet before applying double-sided adhesive ensures a tight bond between the adhesive and the sheet.

In summary, silicone treatment agents play a significant role in improving the bonding quality, stability, and performance of silicone products, while also expanding the application range of silicone in various fields.
