Silicone coated fiberglass fabric

Silicone coated fiberglass fabric

Silicone coated fiberglass fabric is a kind of new material, which with performance of high strength and high temperature resistance, and it is widely used in electrical insulation, fabric expansion joints, etc. Silicone rubber is a linear molecular structure of high molecular weight polyorganosiloxane, the filler is white carbon black.

From the viewpoint of the composite material, the fiberglass fabric / silicone rubber is composite material, the purpose of which is to get the physical and chemical characteristics of the composite. At present, there are two main composite technology: impregnating and calendering. Impregnation process , the solution is made of the silicone rubber with suitable dispersant, then fiberglass fabric impregnated with the silicone rubber solution, after drying and vulcanizing, silicone rubber in the fabric surface to form a uniform and dense rubber layer, this process is for double sides coated thin fabric; the calendering process, with the calendering equipment, such as three-roll calendar, four-roll calendar, pressing the silicone rubber on the surface of fiberglass fabric directly, and vulcanizing under the action of pressure, The process is suitable for single or double-side coating treatment. No matter what kind of composite process, it is important that how both the glass fiber fabric and the silicone rubber can be well affinized. From a microscopic point of view, silicone rubber can spread out in the fiberglass surface, and the fiberglass fabric has good wetting property. To solve this problem, silicone rubber’s physical adsorption on the surface of glass fiber should be much higher than the cohesion and strength of silicone rubber  so on the one hand , is to reduce the cohesion strength of silicone rubber, that is, using appropriate dispersant organosiloxane molecules make the interaction weakened; On the other hand, strengthening the physical adsorption of silicone rubber and fiberglass surface, and using the coupling reagent (KH-550, KH560, KH-570 and KH-580, etc.) during the glass fiber drawing process. Forming an intermediate layer in the silicone rubber surface and the fiberglass, the intermediate layer is to get adhesion on the fiberglass surface, but also “tight” silicone rubber structure, so it is not prone to stratification, and it is better to solve the this problem.
