Phenyl Polysilphenylene Siloxane (Silphenylene substituted Polydimethylsiloxane)
BPX5, BPX35, BPX608, BPX50
Silphenylene phases have become fairly common now with many manufacturers offering at least some phases of this type, SGE has a full range.
Phases with the “X” notation have a silphenylene backbone (exception is the BPX1). Phenyl substituted polymers are relatively non-polar and rely for their different functionality on π – bonding with the aromatic phenyl groups.
SGE was the first GC capillary column manufacturer to introduce this type of phase commercially in the 1980s with the intention of improving the thermal stability to give higher maximum temperatures and reduced bleed.
