Silanes

GENERATING HIGH-PERFORMANCE DURABLE BONDS

Generating covalent bonds between two different materials or two molecules of the same material is one way to raise the performance of these systems – whether the desired enhancement is better adhesion; improved chemical, scrub or corrosion resistance; superior mechanical or electrical properties; or longer-lasting durability. Versatile and possessing the ability to react with a wide variety of organic and inorganic materials, Silquest silanes work effectively as coupling agents, crosslinking agents and surface modifiers. Silquest silanes have been used in high-strength crosslinked plastics, easily dispersed fillers, and resilient adhesives and coatings.

Potential application areas for the Silquest silane product line include:

  • Adhesives
  • Coatings/inks
  • Fiber-reinforced composites
  • Filler treatment
  • Polymer modification
  • Rubber and elastomers
  • Sealants
  • Thermoplastics
