Description

Aminoethylaminopropyltrimethoxysilane, H2NC2H4NHC3H6-Si(OCH3)3; coupling agent for many thermoset and thermoplastic resins with glass or mineral fillers.

XIAMETER OFS-6020 Silane possesses both organic and inorganic reactivity. XIAMETER OFS-6020 Silane can react with organic polymers and glass or other inorganic mineral surfaces.

Features

• Coupling agent

• Improved adhesion

• Increased wet and dry tensile strength and modulus to the composite

• Increased wet and dry flexural strength and modulus to the composite

• Increased wet and dry compressive strength

• Improved compatibility between inorganic filler and organic polymer

Applications

• XIAMETER OFS-6020 Silane has been found to be an effective coupling agent for clay reinforced elastomers such as natural and nitrile rubber. The silane-treated clay provides improvement in both physical and dynamic properties compared to similar cured elastomers containing untreated clay.

• XIAMETER OFS-6020 Silane has been reported to be an effective coupling agent for mineral reinforced nylon 6, nylon 6/6 and polybutyleneterephthalate

• Fiberglass reinforced phenolic, melamine and epoxy thermoset composites, either as fiberglass finish or as resinous additive.

• As an additive to improve the performance of these types of thermoset resins when they are used as mineral binders in foundry and abrasive composite applications.

• Coupling agent for phenolic, melamine and other organic resins used as binders for glass and mineral wood insulation, abrasives and molding components.

How to Use

When used as a resin additive, generally the silane is added at a level of less than 1% based on the weight of the resin solids. For each specific application, the optimum level of additive should be determined by testing several concentrations. When used as an additive to epoxy coatings, this product improves adhesion of the coating, particularly in a very humid environment.

XIAMETER OFS-6020 Silane can be applied to inorganic surfaces, like other silanes, as a dilute aqueous solution (0.1% to 0.5%) silane concentration). Aqueous solutions can be prepared by simply adding the silane to water with stirring.
