Silicones,
Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR)
Applications: Silanes are used in a variety of industrial applications as:

The dual nature of its reactivity allows Andisil® 171 Silane to bind chemically to both inorganic materials (e.g. glass, metals, fillers) and organic polymers (e.g. thermosets, thermoplastics, elastomers), thus functioning as a crosslinking agent, adhesion promoter and/or surface modifier.

Provides superior elongation, flexibility, and spreading at the interface as a coupling agent.

Improves adhesion between glass, mineral and metal surfaces and aminoreactive resins.

Improves adhesion, while maintaining good shelf stability as an additive to waterborne systems.
