Technical Details & Test Data
- Properties
ECOPOWER Crosile1298 is a colorless, nearly odorless low-viscosity liquid. Crosile1298 is an oligomeric siloxane containing vinyl, propyl and ethoxy groups.
- Chemical Properties
ECOPOWER Crosile®1298 is excellent as an adhesion promoter in mineralfilled, peroxide-crosslinked compounds. The silicon-functional ethoxy groups of Crosile®1298 hydrolyse in the presence of moisture, which is usually present on the filler surface, forming active silanol groups. The condensation of these silanol groups with hydroxyl groups on the filler surface leads to a tight chemical bond between Crosile®1298 and the filler. The vinyl functional end of Crosile®1298 can be coupled to the polymer in a further reaction that runs parallel to peroxide crosslinking.
The propyl groups of Crosile®1298 are hydrophobic and result in markedly improved electrical properties of the filled compounds, especially after exposure to water.
A major field of application for mineral-filled compounds is the cable industry. EPDM and kaolin can be processed into cable compounds through the adhesion promoting and hydrophobic effects of Crosile®1298. It can also be used in the manufacture of halogen-free, non-toxic, environmentallyfriendly flame retardant compounds (HFFR) based on EVA or PE and ATH or MDH. In addition, Crosile®1298 can be used in many other applications such as filler and pigment treatment, use in dispersions etc.
