Dynasylan® SILBOND® Condensed serves as a raw material composed of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS; Si[OEt]4 ). This substance is utilized for acid- or alkali-catalyzed hydrolysis and subsequent condensation reactions, commonly known as the sol-gel process. The rate of gelation is influenced by the concentration of water and the pH.

Dynasylan® SIVO 110 stands as a versatile, virtually VOC-free, water-borne sol-gel system. It integrates organofunctional silanes with nanoscale SiO2 particles. This product, available as an opaque to milky, colorless to slightly yellow, low-viscosity liquid, can be diluted in water and common organic solvents. Dynasylan® SIVO 110 features reactive silanol groups and Si-bonded epoxy-based organic functionalities.

Dynasylan® SIVO 160 presents a water-borne, storage-stable silane-based sol-gel system engineered for formulating inorganic surface treatment primers. A part of the SIVO® SOL Technology, it inherits the benefits of its established series counterparts by excluding heavy metals, fluorides, and solvents. Designed for minimal volatile organic content, its polymeric nature endows it with high reactivity. This is highlighted by its remarkably low curing temperature range of 20 to 80 °C, a significant advancement for water-borne sol-gel systems. Dynasylan® SIVO 160, appearing as a clear to slightly opaque, colorless to slightly yellow, low-viscosity liquid, offers versatile utility.

Dynasylan® SILBOND® 40 is an ethyl polysilicate, emerges from partial hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). This transformation converts ethoxy groups into hydroxyl groups, generating silanols. Subsequent condensation of silanols engenders siloxane bonds (-Si-O-Si-O-) and prompts eventual gelation. Often deployed as an intermediary, Dynasylan® SILBOND® 40 undergoes further hydrolysis to produce a binder suitable for diverse applications. These include inorganic zinc-rich primers, investment casting molds, ceramic shapes, coatings, and thermal insulation.

VISIOMER® Terra IBOMA is a bulky side-chain alkyl methacrylate monomer known for its exceptionally high glass transition temperature (Tg). It offers the advantage of lowering viscosity in polymers, enabling the formulation of high solids content. This monomer finds applications in various industries, including adhesives and sealants, coatings, and composites.

VISIOMER® HEMA-P 70 M is a monofunctional methacrylate with a phosphate group in the side chain. It is supplied in 30% methyl methacrylate, which gives it a low viscosity and makes it easy to handle. This monomer provides superior adhesion to polar surfaces such as metals, glass, ceramics, and concrete. In direct-to-metal coatings, it enhances corrosion resistance and improves film strength. Visiomer® HEMA-P 70M can be used as a functional co-monomer in acrylic emulsions for coating resins, as well as an adhesion promoter in adhesive formulations.
