Silquest™ A-Link* 599

1 of 96 products in this brand
Silquest™ A-Link 599 silane is a thiocarboxylate functional silane adhesion promoter that has low odor, low volatility and low mercapto reactivity until the thiocarboxylate is activated during application of the adhesive or sealant. Silquest™ A-Link 599 silane is a blocked mercaptosilane, wherein the octanoyl group blocks the sulfurfunctional part of the molecule. The octanoyl group gives improved solubility in many resin systems. It eliminates the usual mercapto odor during formulation, storage and initial application of a sealant. It further prevents the reaction or deactivation of the mercap- to group with tin and platinum catalysts. Finally, in the sealant application step, the octanoyl-blocking group hydrolyzes to give a reactive mercaptosilane that bonds between the resin and substrate.

Potential Applications

This demonstration of the effectiveness of Silquest A-Link 599 silane is based on the addition of this silane to a SPUR+ * prepolymer-based (silylated polyurethane based) hybrid sealant used to bond a typical glass frit used in automotive windshields to automotive clear coats. The sealant formulation used was.
