Silane Coupling Agents
Silane coupling agents are organosilicon compounds that have two different functional groups, including one that reacts with organic materials and one that reacts with inorganic materials. This unique characteristic enables them to bond organic materials to inorganic materials. The organic functional groups include epoxy, amino, ketimino, vinyl, methacryloxy, acryloxy, mercapto, polysulfido, isocyanato,styryl, as well as other organic groups. There are also different hydrolyzable groups available,including chloro, methoxy, and ethoxy.
SiSiB® Silane coupling agents are used to bind the organic polymers to a mineral or siliceous filler, increase adhesion between fillers and polymers in adhesives and sealant.
