"Dispersion" is a term used to describe a silicone elastomer system that is suspended or dispersed in a solvent carrier. It is a complex solution that contains silicone polymers of various molecular weights and reinforcing fillers. The substituent groups comprising the polymer back bone structure may consist of the following: Polydimethylsiloxane, Dimethyl Diphenyl copolymer, and Fluoro homo polymer or copolymer. Silicone dispersions typically have low viscosities, which is beneficial for applications wherein a thin film coating is needed, and they can easily be used in dipping and spraying processes. NuSil uses a variety of solvents to disperse silicones, such as xylene, tert butyl acetate, heptane, hexane, acetone and naphtha.
