At the core of silicone innovation lies Platinum(0)-1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, more commonly known as IOTA-8100. With its molecular formula C8H18OPtSi2 and a molecular weight of 381.48, this catalyst is the linchpin in creating a myriad of silicone-based products. Its CAS number, 68478-92-2, and EINECS identifier, 270-844-4, further cement its status as a key player in the chemical industry.
IOTA-8100's light yellow liquid form, combined with its physical properties—a melting point of 12-13°C, a boiling point of 138°C, a flash point of 30°C, and a specific gravity of 0.984g/mL at 25°C—make it an ideal catalyst for various silicone processing conditions. Its active content, which exceeds 20%, ensures rapid catalysis, with a room temperature activity of ≤10 minutes and full cure at elevated temperatures within a quarter of an hour.
Whether you need a catalyst with a concentration of 500ppm, 10,000ppm, or anything in between, IOTA-8100 can be customized to suit your specific requirements. Its high catalytic efficiency makes it the perfect choice for catalyzing vinyl siloxane and hydrogen siloxane in additive cross-linking reactions, transforming silicone oils and rubbers into a multitude of products.
In the rubber industry, IOTA-8100 serves as a vital vulcanizer and catalyst for mixing molding rubber, silicone tube extrusions, and pacifier glue. Its applications extend into formulating pouring sealants, silicone sheets, mold glues, RTV-M, silicone inks, silicone resins, and more. Beyond silicone, it plays a crucial role in the synthesis of modified polyether silicone oil and amino silicone oil, enhancing their performance. In coatings, it serves as an auxiliary in polyurethane and silicone coatings, as well as defoamers, proving its versatility across multiple industries.
