silmaproovil
Silmaproovil is a synthetic organosilicon compound used in industrial coatings and lubricants. It features a siloxane backbone with propyl substituents, giving a balance of flexibility and hydrophobicity.
Production involves condensation reactions of propyl-terminated chlorosilanes with silica hydride functional siloxanes under basic or acid
Physical properties include a clear to pale viscous liquid or waxy solid at room temperature, high thermal
