Even the toughest substrates are vulnerable to the damaging long-term
effects of weathering and temperature extremes. Dow Corning® brand silanes can
help make your substrates longer lasting, more durable, and withstand the
toughest environments.
Using Dow Corning® brand alkoxysilanes, organo-reactive silane coupling
agents, and silane crosslinkers you can improve hydrophobicity, coupling
performance and compatibility between materials, and other material properties.
With Dow Corning® brand silanes you can also create new materials with unique
performance advantages.
Our silane treatments can improve the performance and durability of your
products by:
-
Improving adhesion
-
Increasing wet and dry tensile, flexural, and compressive strength
-
Increasing compatibility between inorganic particles and organic
resins
Alkoxysilanes are a natural fit to treat the surfaces of inorganic mineral
fillers and reinforcements. Alkoxysilanes can help make a filler more easily
dispersible into an organic system, or even make the filler into a reinforcing
material.
Non-organoreactive silanes can be used to modify the surface of the mineral
to be more compatible with an organic matrix.
Organoreactive silanes are used to render the surface of minerals both
compatible in and reactive to a resin or plastic matrix.
