SILANE (A171) Vinyl Trimethoxy Silane
Applications
Vinyltrimethoxysilane is mainly applied in these aspects:
- In the preparation of moisture-curing polymers, e.g. polyethylene. Silane crosslinked polyethylene is widely used as cable isolation, and sheathing mainly in low voltage applications as well as for hot water/sanitary pipes and underfloor heating.
- As a co-monomer for the preparation of different polymers such as polyethylene or acrylics. Those polymers show an improved adhesion to inorganic surfaces and they can also be crosslinked with moisture.
- As an efficient adhesion promoter for various mineral-filled polymers, improving mechanical and electrical properties especially after exposure to moisture.
- Improving the compatibility of fillers with polymers, leading to a better dispersibility, reduced melt viscosity and easier processing of filled plastics.
- Pre-treating of glass, metals, or ceramic surfaces, improve the adhesion of coatings on these surfaces and corrosion resistance.
- As moisture scavenger, it reacts rapidly with water. This effect is used widely in sealants.
- VTMS may be used to provide superhydrophobicity to different materials like TiO2, talc, kaolin, magnesium oxide nanoparticles, ammonium phosphate and PEDOT. It modifies the surface by capping the material and creates a protective layer that is water resistant and can be used in major coating industries.
