Silquest™ A-187

1 of 96 products in this brand
Silquest™ A-187 silane is specially formulated for use as an adhesion promoter in SPUR + * prepolymer, urethane, epoxy, polysulfide, silicone and acrylic systems for caulks, coatings, sealants and adhesives. Its epoxy functionality allows Silquest™ A-187 silane to perform as a durable epoxy ring that is reactive with many organic functions. It also offers non-yellowing adhesion in many resin systems and has proven to increase the flexibility of systems when compared to other adhesion promoters under certain conditions.

Product Highlights
  • Epoxy Functionality : 
    • Epoxy ring is reactive with many organic functionalities.
    • Epoxy functionality will offer non-yellowing adhesion in many resin systems.
    • May improve flexibility of systems vs. other adhesion promoters.
  • Trimethoxy Silane Functionality :
    • Bonds to inorganic substrates to provide excellent wet and dry adhesion.
    • Very fast hydrolysis rate
  • Enhanced electrical properties of epoxy based electronic encapsulant and packaging materials, resulting from improved bonding between resin and substrate or filler.
  • An excellent candidate for waterborne applications such as acrylic and vinyl-acrylic caulks.
  • Improved adhesion to glass, and metal substrates can be obtained in epoxy, polysulfide, urethane and acrylic bases adhesives, sealants and caulks.
  • SPUR+ perpolymer applications benefit from adhesion without decrease in elongation and yellowing.
  • Urethane applications benefit from enhanced adhesion to glass and metal substrates, while providing improved shelf stability over amino silane alternatives.
  • Typical use level ranges from 0.5 to 1.5 pbw.
