Cross Linking

Organofunctional silanes have both organic and inorganic functional reactivity, centred on a silicon atom. They become reactive when exposed to atmospheric moisture or with the addition of water and can be used as crosslinking agents in a wide variety of resin systems used in the manufacture of adhesives and coatings.

The chemical bonds between the resin and fillers can be improved using silane for the following benefits:              

  • Thermal stability
  • Hardness
  • Chemical resistance
  • Abrasion resistance
  • Wet adhesion
  • Higher filler loading
  • End-capping for polyurethane's
  • Tear strength
