Andisil® 174 Silane

Adhesion Promotion:

• Low use levels, typically <1%
• Substrates - reaction with alkoxy functional group
  • Glass
  • Siliceous Substrates
  • Metals/ metal oxides
• Substrates – reaction with organic functional group
  • Acrylics
  • Polyamides
  • Polyesters

Coupling Agent:: 

• Dispersed in adhesive/ sealant material
• Improves
  • Mechanical Properties
  • Chemical Resistance
  • Hydrolytic Stability
• Substrates
  • Mineral fillers
  • Polymeric coatings

Crosslinking: 

• Create structure in polymer network
• Improve physical properties
  • Heat resistance
  • Hardness
  • Chemical Resistance

Dispersing Agent:

• Improves filler wetting
• Decreases viscosity which allows for high loading of silica

• Methacryl-functional silane is used as an adhesion promoter at organic/inorgainc interfaces, as a surface modifier (e.g. imparting water repellency, organophilic surface adjustment) or as a crosslinker of polymers
• Improves strength as glass fiber size composite in reinforced polyester composites
• Enhances initial and wet strength of reinforced polyester resin composites
• Used as a coupling agent to improve the physical and electrical properties of glass-reinforced and mineral-filled thermosetting resins under exposure to heat and/or moisture
• Crosslinks acrylic type resins improving adhesion and durability of adhesives and coatings
• Blend additive in resin systems that cure via a free radical mechanism (e.g. polyester, acrylic) and in filled or reinforced thermoplastic polymers, including polyolefins and polyurethanes

Andisil® 174 Silane is available in 440 pound net weight drums or 40 pound pails. Other packaging options may be available upon request.

The shelf life, when the container is stored unopened and under proper conditions above 50 ºF, is expected to be a minimum of two (2) years.
