Liquid silicone resin and solid silicone resin are mainly different in the following aspects:
1. Physical status:
Liquid silicone: As the name suggests, it is a liquid form, usually appearing as a viscous or low-viscosity liquid substance. These resins flow at room temperature and are convenient for coating, spraying and impregnating applications.
Solid silicone resin: is a solid or semi-solid state, usually in powder, block or flake, in use need to be heated or dissolved before processing or application.
2. Application Mode:
Liquid silicone resin: Suitable for direct coating, spraying or impregnation processes, usually do not require additional dissolution steps, more convenient to use, widely used in coating, sealant, impregnation and other fields.
Solid silicone resin: used in powder coatings or molding processing, often need to be heated, dissolved or mixed with other compounds before use. Suitable for applications requiring higher heat resistance and mechanical properties.
3. Processing and storage:
Liquid silicone: The storage conditions are relatively simple, but it may face problems such as delamination and viscosity change during long-term storage, and it is more sensitive to temperature during processing.
Solid silicone: It is more stable, easy to store, and can usually be kept at room temperature for a long time, but needs to be heated or dissolved when in use, which increases process complexity.
4. Field of use:
Liquid silicone resin: Because of its fluidity and easy coating, it is often used in waterproof coatings, high temperature resistant coatings, insulating paints, etc.
Solid silicone resin: it is mainly used in the manufacture of high temperature resistance, electrical insulation materials, mold materials, composite materials and other occasions.
In general, liquid silicone is easier to use and process, while solid silicone is more suitable for applications requiring higher mechanical strength and temperature resistance.
