1-200-15 Terminally Hydrogen-terminated Silicone Oil

Dow Corning® 200 Fluid Series 1-200-15 is a low-viscosity, hydrogen-terminated linear polydimethylsiloxane with reactive Si–H end groups. It serves as a key precursor for hydrosilylation-cured silicones, offering excellent thermal stability, low volatility, and precise molecular weight control (≈1,500 g/mol). Widely used in specialty coatings, release agents, and silicone elastomer synthesis.

1-200-15 Terminally Hydrogen-terminated Silicone Oil – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary functional role of 1-200-15 in silicone-based formulations?

A: 1-200-15 serves as a reactive silicone modifier, enabling covalent incorporation into polysiloxane networks via hydrosilylation. Its terminal Si–H groups allow controlled crosslinking or chain extension with vinyl-functional siloxanes, enhancing thermal stability, release performance, or surface modulation without introducing volatile by-products.


Q2: How does 1-200-15 differ from non-reactive dimethyl silicone oils?

A: Unlike inert linear PDMS oils, 1-200-15 contains reactive hydrogen atoms at both molecular termini. This enables permanent integration into cured silicone matrices rather than acting as a migratory additive—resulting in improved compatibility, reduced blooming, and long-term property retention under thermal or mechanical stress.


Q3: Is 1-200-15 suitable for use in platinum-catalyzed addition-cure systems?

A: Yes, it is fully compatible with platinum-based catalysts and commonly employed in addition-cure RTV, LSR, and HTV silicone formulations. As a difunctional hydride, it contributes to network formation while maintaining predictable reactivity kinetics when balanced against vinyl content.


Q4: What handling precautions should be observed during storage and processing?

A: Store under dry, inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent moisture-induced condensation or oxidation. Avoid prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures prior to use, and ensure equipment is free of residual amines or tin catalysts that may interfere with hydrosilylation efficiency.
