Products in Construction Adhesives: Crosslinking Agent

Evonik Crosslinker 100, part of the Crosslinker 100 series, consists of polydimethylsiloxanes containing SiH groups within the polymer chain. In addition to SiH groups within the chain, the Crosslinker 100 series features terminal SiH groups. These crosslinkers are essential components of polyaddition silicones. When working with two-component silicone formulations, it is crucial to maintain strict separation between Pt catalysts (e.g., Catalyst 500 series) and SiH crosslinkers to ensure proper performance.

PHENODUR® VPR 1740/50WA is a chemical family member of phenols and phenolics that is used in many different industries as a flexible binder and crosslinking agent. It is excellent at bonding and assembly in the automotive and transportation industries, especially in transportation assembly. This product stands out among adhesives and sealants for building and construction because it works well for construction adhesives. It also works well for craft and hobby projects and DIY and consumer repair adhesives. Its importance encompasses adhesives used in furniture manufacture, consumer products, industrial and assembly manufacturing, textile and footwear, and vehicle assembly.

ZINPLEX 15 contains 13.2% zinc metal ions that can be used to crosslink aqueous carboxylated polymers. This crosslinking or complexing takes place as the coating dries at either room temperature or under forced dry or higher baking conditions.
