Dynasylan® SIVO 203

1 of 42 products in this brand
Dynasylan® SIVO 203 is another multifunctional aminosilane adhesion promoter, is equally versatile for an array of applications. Designed mainly for adhesives and sealants, it enhances the adhesion of hybrid products (e.g., silylated polyurethanes, MS Polymers), RTV-silicones, two-part polyurethanes, and two-part epoxies to inorganic surfaces and select challenging plastic surfaces. In addition, Dynasylan® SIVO 203 accelerates sealant curing, fosters high crosslinked product formation, and imparts both heightened flexibility and hydrophobicity.

Application Characteristics
  • Dynasylan® SIVO 203 is a versatile product that provides improved product performance and quality.
  • Dynasylan® SIVO 203 is soluble in alcohols, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, but it can undergo reactions with ketones or ester solvents.
  • Dynasylan® SIVO 203 may also be used as an additive or as a primer in coatings and as a primer in adhesives and sealants applications.
  • When used as an additive, Dynasylan® SIVO 203 can eliminate the need for special primers in numerous bonding applications.
  • Specific systems that demonstrate improved adhesion when Dynasylan® SIVO 203 is used include RTV silicones and hybrid silane-crosslinkable systems.
  • Loading levels of 0,5 to 2,0 wt. % of Dynasylan® SIVO 203 as an additive - calculated on the overall formulation - are typically recommended.
  • Dynasylan® SIVO 203 can also be utilized to treat mineral fillers.
  • The special functionalities may result in unique functional filler properties when Dynasylan® SIVO 203 treated minerals are incorporated into polymers.
  • Key Benefits Dynasylan® SIVO 203 exhibits excellent wetting on substrates and it forms weather- and moisture-resistant bonds to substrates which are typically difficult to adhere.
  • The main benefits of Dynasylan® SIVO 203 in silylated polyurethane or MS polymer adhesives and sealants are:
    • Improved adhesion to Al
    • Improved adhesion to plastics such as PC and PET
    • Improved in elongation and modulus
    • Reduced yellowing and reduced staining of transparent end products

Technical Details & Test Data

Improved Mechanical Properties:

Improved mechanical properties: up to 75% tensile strength increase.

Both tailor-made multifunctional silane systems have been tested in a lab study compared to the market stan-dard Dynasylan® AMMO, and led to strongly improved mechanical properties of the corresponding SMP-based sealants (Figure 1, AMMO = 100 as an index).

Mechanical properties of cured MS PolymerTM sealants.

Significant yellowing reduction: no yellowing during storage nor service lifetime.

As shown below, the visual evaluation of said sealants indicated Dynasylan® SIVO 203 as best silane solution with a look on color stability while Dynasylan® 1146 was 2nd best (Figure 2). Dynasylan® AMMO gave proper specimen while (the old standard) Dynasylan® DAMO-T failed.

Last but not least, Dynasylan® SIVO 20 offer real opportunities to avoid labeling.

High Elastic Adhesives and Sealant

Enhanced adhesion performance: up to 140 % adhesion performance increased on PET substrate.

With Dynasylan® SIVO 203, formulated in SMP- products or RTV-silicones, you can achieve excellent adhesion performance on a wide variety of substrates, especially adhesion on critical substrates like PET or PVC can be significantly improved.

stored for 2 weeks at 22 °C and at 50 % relative humidity, Adhesion performance of oxime silicone sealant on various substrates.

Improved elasticity: increase of 40 % elongation at break of a STPU sealant.

Dynasylan® SIVO 203 enables to formulate adhesives and sealants with enhanced elongation at break and overall elasticity of adhesives and sealants.

Elongation at break of a STPU sealant.

Additional advantages provided by Dynasylan® SIVO 203 are: 

  • Reduced yellowing of white or transparent sealants compared to products with traditional aminosilanes
  • High tensile strength in combination with good elasticity possible, balancing of important mechanical properties
  • With Dynasylan® SIVO 203, you can formulate elastic adhesives and sealants with improved adhesion performance compared to standard aminosilanes.
