- Recommeded Usage
Silquest A-178 silane is recommended for evaluation in instances where inorganic surfaces such as glass fibers, particulate fillers or metals are combined with organic polymers, for example, unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester, acrylic, polybutylene and polyolefins. This silane is often applied to the inorganic surface from an aqueous solution. The treating solution can be quite simple, consisting of only silane, water and a small amount of acid to adjust the pH. These solutions are used commonly in finishing of heat-cleaned woven glass fabrics or treating particulate fillers. More complex solutions often are used when treating glass fibers used for reinforcing organic resins. These treating solutions may contain (in addition to Silquest A-178 silane) water-soluble organic polymers or emulsions of organic polymers as film formers, lubricants, anti-static agents, wetting agents, water, acids or buffers and other silane coupling agents.
