Reactive silazanes and ceramic precursors are heat-curing Si-N polymers whose Si-H and Si-vinyl groups do double duty: crosslinking sites for hybrid and rubber systems today, and the molecular route to SiCNO/SiCN ceramics under pyrolysis. This is the line for engineers who buy chemistry, not just coatings.
Four grades cover the practical matrix: SILZ-350 (Si-H + vinyl, high MW), SILZ-351 (vinyl, low viscosity), SILZ-701 (Si-H, low-to-mid MW) and SILZ-702 (Si-H, high MW). The vinyl/Si-H pair — 351 with 701 — crosslinks before pyrolysis and reaches ceramic yields above 75%, while the high-MW grades form coherent 350 °C-service films on their own.

Need hydrosilylation? Si-H grades (701, 702, 350). Need addition sites or a crosslinking partner? Vinyl grades (351, 350). The 351 + 701 pair is the standard high-yield precursor combination.
Low-to-mid MW (351: 255–591; 701: 177–581) for synthesis, dosing and impregnation; high MW (350, 702: >8×10⁴) for film integrity and char yield.
As coatings, 350 and 702 cure at 180–250 °C into ≥6H films serving 350 °C continuously. As feedstocks, all four supply Si-N chemistry — choose by the reaction you plan to run.
All grades heat-cure; 351/701 films surface-dry in as little as 6 minutes at 200–250 °C. Match the cure schedule to your oven capability before locking a grade.
Ceramic Precursors & Advanced CeramicsResin, Rubber & Composite Modification
Blend SILZ-701 (Si-H) with SILZ-351 (vinyl): hydrosilylation crosslinks the pair before pyrolysis and compounded systems exceed 75% ceramic yield. We provide starting ratios and thermal profiles with samples.
No — this line is heat-curing by design (roughly 165–250 °C depending on grade), which is what gives formulators a stable working window of up to 24 hours. For ambient-cure resins, see our Organopolysilazane Resins line.
