- Applications
Silanes are used in a variety of industrial applications as:
- Coupling agents
- Crosslinkers
- Moisture scavengers
- Resin additives
- Surface modifiers
- Epoxy functional silane used used to improve dry and wet strength in cured composites reinforced with glass fiber rovings.
- Enhances wet electrical properties of epoxy-based encapsulate and packaging materials
- Eliminates the need for a separate primer in polysulfide and urethane sealants
- Used as an adhesion promoter in waterborne acrylic sealants and in urethane and epoxy coatings
