What are the differences between silicone powders of different molecular weights?

Differences Between Silicone Powders of Different Molecular Weights
High Molecular Weight Silicone Powders
High molecular weight silicone powders migrate slowly and provide excellent lubrication. However, they are harder to disperse and require stronger mixing and shearing forces. These powders are ideal for applications needing long-term stability and performance.
Low Molecular Weight Silicone Powders
Low molecular weight silicone powders migrate quickly and disperse easily. They are suitable for applications where quick surface effects are needed. However, they can lead to issues like surface whitening, fluffing, and greasiness over time.
Application Considerations
The choice between high and low molecular weight silicone powders depends on the specific application requirements. High molecular weight powders are better for stability, while low molecular weight powders are better for quick dispersibility and surface effects.
Conclusion
Customers should carefully consider the reaction speed, migration speed, surface effect, and application range when selecting silicone powders. Each type has its unique advantages and potential drawbacks.
