Liquid silicone rubber (LSR), as one of the fastest-growing high-performance silicone materials in recent years, is in high demand in fields such as smart wearables, automotive parts, and medical catheters. Tetramethyltetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane (IOTA V4), with its highly reactive vinyl structure, plays a crucial role in the synthesis of liquid silicone rubber and vinyl hydroxyl silicone oils.

In liquid silicone rubber formulations, uniform crosslinking, transparency, and elasticity are key to its quality. The tetravinyl group in IOTA V4's structure makes it more readily involved in the crosslinking reaction, increasing the crosslinking density and thus improving the overall mechanical properties and durability of the material. Simultaneously, IOTA V4's high purity and low color saturation ensure that the final product achieves the high transparency required for medical and food-grade applications.

In the production of vinyl hydroxyl silicone oils, IOTA V4, as a vinyl source, allows for precise control of the vinyl content, improving the stability of the silicone oil in subsequent synthesis steps and making the final material more suitable for high-performance silicone rubbers, gel materials, and high-temperature resistant adhesive products.

Industry insiders point out that as the demand for silicon materials shifts towards high-end products, controlling reactivity and improving product consistency have become crucial, and the application of IOTA V4 is an important way to achieve this goal. In the future, as more companies upgrade their materials, IOTA V4 will play a greater role in a wider range of industry chains.
