In a groundbreaking development, the chemical industry has witnessed the introduction of IOTA-8100, a Platinum(0)-1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane catalyst that promises to revolutionize silicone processing. Known for its high catalytic efficiency, IOTA-8100 has quickly gained attention for its ability to catalyze vinyl siloxane and hydrogen siloxane in additive cross-linking reactions with unprecedented speed.

With a molecular formula of C8H18OPtSi2 and a molecular weight of 381.48, IOTA-8100 boasts an active content of over 20%, ensuring reliable performance in various applications. Its light yellow liquid appearance and specific gravity of 0.984g/mL at 25°C make it easy to handle and integrate into existing manufacturing processes.

The catalyst's room temperature activity, with a thickening time of less than 10 minutes, and its ability to entirely cure at 120°C within 25 minutes, position it as a versatile tool for a wide range of silicone-based products. From vulcanizing rubber and silicone tube extrusions to synthesizing modified polyether silicone oil and amino silicone oil, IOTA-8100's applications are seemingly endless.

Manufacturers can now customize platinum content in their products, with options ranging from 500ppm to an astonishing 40,000ppm, tailored to specific needs and processes. This flexibility ensures that IOTA-8100 can meet the diverse requirements of the silicone industry, from small-scale laboratory experiments to large-scale industrial production.

Moreover, IOTA-8100's storage stability, maintaining catalytic activity and appearance when sealed in a dark place between 20-30°C for up to 12 months, further enhances its appeal. This makes it an ideal choice for both short-term and long-term projects, ensuring consistency and reliability throughout the production cycle.
