Developments in High Temperature Silicone Lubricationmolykotetl
MOLYKOTE presents a unique view of the future of silicone based lubricants. Based on new modelling techniques, MOLYKOTE is developing ranges of superior siloxanes and other silicone based fluids, that are changing the future outlook for industrial lubricants. Siloxanes are being developed with increased wear resistance, metal to metal application, even at high temperatures, temporary shear thinning and high traction properties. Originally presented at the SAE World Congress in Detroit, this presentation explores the leading edge of silicone research and the applications that are emerging.
The new frontier in industrial lubricant research: the silicone copolymers.molykotetl
Think that silicone lubricants have reached their limitations? Think again. Siloxanes are sometimes dismissed due to their lower load bearing capacity, but new research from Molykote® from Dow Corning proves that altering the molecular structure of pendant groups can bring about a whole range of new properties, and applications, for the trusted silicone lubricant.
This presentation, made to the 83rd NLGI annual meeting in June 2016, provides a detailed overview of the research, development, benefits and applications of a new range of copolymer siloxanes.
Combining the excellent wear and friction protection properties of fluorosiloxanes with the high onset oxidation temperature afforded by phenylsiloxanes, the phenyl-fluoro copolymer makes use of both pendant groups, in varying ratios, to provide a range of lubricants each with their own application benefits.
The lubricants are fully compatible with additives offering further wear resistance, and the potential for a range of product substrates, such as greases.

Everything You Need to Know About TPE Compounds, Chemistry, and CapabilitiesTeknor Apex Company
TPE Alphabet Soup: TPO, TPV, SBC, TPU, COPE, COPA:
Perhaps you know TPEs. But did you know that there are actually six distinct TPE chemical families? The right chemistry depends on the application, and the design goals.
What’s more, with the right knowledge, teams can design to the advantages of a Styrenic Block Copolymer Compound (SBC or TPE-S) or a Polyolefinic Rubber Blend (TPO or TPE-O) or a Thermoplastic Vulcanizate (TPV or TPV-V).
Some families are highly elastic. Some take color extremely well. Some are better suited for outdoor applications. Some retain their properties at extreme temperatures. Each project is unique, and there are key performance requirements that define what TPE family is ideal for the application.
Then within each TPE family, there are almost limitless possibilities – for hardness, temperature tolerances, surface haptics, chemical resistance and other attributes.
Ultimately, there may be several suitable TPE grades for any one application. Design engineers and compounders work together to evaluate or test subtle trade-offs, and select the optimal material.

Editor's Notes
Indication of relative reaction rates in free radical polymerization
If the molecules 1 and 2 differ widely in polarity, then the exponent in the rate equation will be large and therefore the exponential will be small
Relative to styrene our monomers are less volatile which has lead to use in numerous applications
Because of the alkyl groups on the aromatic structure water is less soluble. Additionally we have seen water barrier and reduced water absorption of polymers based on Deltech monomers
In many thermoset systems we have seen lower shrinkage on cure similar to the lower shrinkage of homopolymerization
Heat of polymerization relative to styrene is also lower with respect to styrene; and between this and lower shrinkage we have seen many thermoset systems have reduce rates of imperfections.
Higher TG’s of PMS and VT lead to improve properties in coatings, thermoplastics and thermoset systems.
The solubility parameter is an indication of improved solubility of our materials in solvents which can be beneficial in high solids coatings or absorbtion of organics
Based on the uses of VT, PMS and TBS and review of patents demonstrating the use of our monomers we have seen common beneficial properties that our monomers provide polymers, resins and reative systems which transends polymer type.
Low vapor pressure of VT relative to styrene reduces worker exposure. Also VT, PMS and TBS are not listed on HAPS whereas styrene is.
Because of the additional methyl group attached to the aromatic part of the VT structure it improves it’s solubility as a monomer and in resins, and even more effective in parraffinic solvents like mineral spirits achieving high solids coatings demonstrated in alkyd and acrylic resins.
Systems based on using VT as a reactive diluent have excellent electrical insulating properties
Because of the methyl group on the aromatic it provides excellent hydrophobicity demonstrated in coating resins and UPR composites
Coatings based on VT have good resistance to caustic and acids and cane be applied directly to fresh cement and plaster
The elevated Tg’s of resins based on our polymers leads to higher hardness coatings
Coating resins based on VT dry very quickly and their good solvent release makes VT excellent for dryfall applications
As a reactive diluent VT keeps system viscosities low in UPR composite systems, insulating varnishes and coating systems.
Because of the lower cure exotherm compared to styrene, VT based systems reduce composite defects
Lower shrinkage of VT (as well aPMS and TBS) provide better dimensional stability.
Because of the additional methyl group attached to the aromatic part of the PMS structure it improves it’s solubility as a monomer and in resins, and even more effective in parraffinic solvents like mineral spirits. This high solubility leads to high solids coatings.
Because of the methyl group on the aromatic it provides excellent hydrophobicity demonstrated in coating resins (like acrylic based coatings)
PMS blocks in a polymer can readily be functionalized homogeneously providing distinct properties to a resin including barrier properties, UV/EB crosslinking capability, or improved compatibility with other resins or solvents.
Films of copolymers based on PMS demonstrate excellent clarity, light transmission and ability to polarize light.
The alignment of PMS blocks can create hardblock structures with amorphous structures leading to hydrogen bond crosslinking in a thermoplastic (Kurraray’s Septon)
The compatibility of PMS with flame retardants like polyphosphates leads to intumescent coatings.
Because of the low vapor pressure (as well as not being listed on HAPS) TBS is used in reactive resin systems where limited worker exposure is required (like mines)
Use of TBS can lead to high solids coatings of 85%. Additionally TBS polymers included in crosslinked copolymer beads can be used to absorb organic spills.
Becausse of the large t-butyl group TBS can be used to provide high water barrier or corrosion reistant properties in a resin or composite.
Due to molecular alignment and hydrogen bonding TBS homopolymer achieves high Tg. It has been used to control adhesive tackifier softening temperature as well as compatibility and heat stability in a hot melt system.
TBS like PMS can provide films with good optical properties.
