Silanes

Silanes are a broad category of chemical compounds of silicon and other atoms such as carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen. Silanes can greatly improve wetting properties, compression strength, shear strength, mechanical properties and wet electric properties when used in thermoplastic and thermosetting resin such as phenol aldehyde, polyester, epoxy, PST, and polyamide.

The Chemical Company carries a full line of silanes that can be used in a wide range of applications to improve polymer crosslinking, dispersion, mechanical properties and increased adhesion between organic and inorganic phases.

TCC’s Silanes are available for shipping throughout the continental United States with one (1) week lead time. Sydol-61 is a liquid packed in bulk, totes (IBC tanks) and drums.

Applications

Silanes have a wide range of use and are found in many applications. Silanes are used in some fiberglass and composites to improve mechanical strength, and electrical properties. Paints, inks and coatings often use silanes to increase resistance to abrasions as well as increased adhesion, thermal stability and crosslinking. In polymer systems silanes are often used as dispersing agents for fillers, and a crosslinking modifier that improves the mechanicals properties of the polymer/silane blend. Silanes also are used in adhesives and sealants that increase adhesion, temperature and chemical resistance.
