The seamless opening and closing of foldable smartphones and the long-lasting sealing of new energy vehicles rely on breakthroughs in key materials. Compared to standard hydrogen-containing silicone oils, IOTA 616—a hydride-terminated silicone oil—boasts superior reactivity due to the highly active Si-H bonds at its terminal groups, making it a core intermediate for hydrosilylation reactions. Acting as a chain extender, it enables downstream customers to significantly increase the elongation at break of addition-cure liquid silicone rubber; by simultaneously enhancing toughness and reducing hardness, it effectively resolves the common trade-off between flexibility and structural integrity in applications such as electronic adhesives and automotive seals.


Everyday applications—ranging from moisture protection in kitchens and bathrooms to waterproofing for outdoor electronics—also benefit from the IOTA silicone series, as this product combines the hydrophobic and moisture-resistant properties of the IOTA 202 and IOTA 203 grades. With its high purity and precisely controllable molecular weight, IOTA 616 has earned authoritative industry endorsement; it is accelerating the adoption of high-performance modified silicone oils in consumer sectors such as plastic resins and wearable devices, resulting in products that are more durable and reliable.
