Silquest* Silanes - Generating covalent bonds between two different materials or two molecules of the same material is one way to raise the performance of these systems – whether the desired enhancement is better adhesion; improved chemical, scrub or corrosion resistance; superior mechanical or electrical properties; or longer-lasting durability. Our customers have employed our family of Silquest silanes for just such an array of benefits. Versatile and possessing the ability to react with a wide variety of organic and inorganic materials, Silquest silanes work effectively as coupling agents, crosslinking agents and surface modifiers. Silquest silanes have been used in high-strength crosslinked plastics, easily dispersed fillers, and resilient adhesives and coatings.

Santicizer® Plasticizers offer all the benefits of high solvating plasticizers including compatibility in multiple polymer systems such as Polysulfide, PVC and Polyurethane. Because of their high efficiency, less energy is required to fuse PVC formulations. These materials are well suited for plastisol applications, but can easily be used in almost any polymer system that requires additional flexibility and softness.

SPUR+* Prepolymers - Formulators for the construction, automotive, and other industries face the sizeable challenge of creating durable sealants and adhesives and an excellent building block technology to consider for use in such products are Momentive s SPUR prepolymers. This family of silane terminated polyurethanes is appealing because of the combination of a silane curing mechanism with a polyurethane backbone. The properties derived from these SPUR prepolymers give formulators broad latitude to assemble products to meet the varied and specific performance needs of the end user.

Momentive 's CoatOSil additives portfolio provides a broad range of products to address a large range of performance needs in the coatings industry. CoatOSil additives can improve coating processability and help enhance surface appearance. Momentive tailors the structure of each CoatOSil additive molecule and produces a variety of grades with differing utility in water or solvent borne coating application, whether the most critical properties are related to foam control, anti blocking, wetting, slip or flow and leveling.

Evonik is the inventor of AEROSIL® fumed silica, which is a synthetic fumed silica that is produced by flame hydrolysis. For over 70 years AEROSIL® has proven to enhance performance in many markets and applications. Today Evonik's AEROSIL® portfolio covers a broad range of surface areas, as well as very different surface chemistries. Also, AEROSIL® does not get tired in finding new markets, applications and effects. AEROSIL® is invented to improve.

HDK® Pyrogenic silica is a mature product that WACKER has produced for over 50 years and is used by customers worldwide with great success. Thanks to our integrated production system with statistical process control and highly efficient reactor dynamics, we produce pyrogenic silica of exceptionally purity. With HDK® you get not only great product performance, but also tailored customer service.

PHENODUR® phenolic resins mainly find use in industrial and packaging coatings, in combination with other types of resins, such as epoxies, acrylics and polyesters. PHENODUR®specially formulated solvent-based and waterborne resins are designed for use in coatings applied to the interior of metal food containers, and include phenolic resin systems that can be used to make Bisphenol A- and BADGE-free interior can coatings.

CarboGasket is a powdered thermoplastic natural resin with high bonding capabilities for solvent-based gasket sealant formulations.
