GENIOSIL® XL 10 is used in the production of pipes and cables made of silane-crosslinked polyethylene (PE-Xb), as a water scavenger during the production of silane-crosslinking adhesive and sealant formulations, and as co-monomers in the production of silane-modified binders for surface coatings.
- Grafting of GENIOSIL® XL 10 - The radical grafting of GENIOSIL® XL 10 to polyolefins, such as HDPE and LDPE, is typically effected via reactive extrusion, using peroxides as catalysts. Usually, 1-2 wt % GENIOSIL® XL 10 is required, expressed in terms of the polyolefin. Polyolefins grafted with GENIOSIL® XL 10 are moisture-cured after molding.
- GENIOSIL® XL 10 as an additive in silane-crosslinking formulations - In silane-crosslinking formulations, (e.g. silane-terminated polyethers , polyurethanes or polysiloxanes), GENIOSIL® XL 10 is mixed into the formulation as an additive to prevent premature crosslinking due to trace moisture. Processing is effected by means of standard mixing methods (e.g. paddle agitator, dissolver, kneader). GENIOSIL® XL 10 may be added before or during incorporation of the reactive polymer. The amount added will depend on the water content and pretreatment of the components.
- GENIOSIL® XL 10 as a co-monomer in polymer dispersions - To incorporate GENIOSIL® XL 10 in organic polymer dispersions by way of co-polymerization, it is added as as comonomer - along with typically used monomers (e.g. ethylene, vinyl acetate, styrene, acrylate) and freeradical initiators (diazo compounds or peroxides) - during production of the emulsion polymer.

- Typical Properties
- Properties
- Pipes and cables produced from silane-crosslinked polyethylene (PE-Xb) using GENIOSIL® XL 10 are more resistant to heat and weathering than products made from non-crosslinked polyethylene.
- They also have improved electrical properties. The storage stability is greatly enhanced in formulations of silane-crosslinking adhesives and sealants.
- Use of GENIOSIL® XL 10 as a co-monomer in polymer dispersions results in binders which exhibit much improved wet scrub resistance and higher abrasion resistance thanks to crosslinking and improved adhesion to the substrate.
