What are Silane Coupling Agents?
Silane coupling agents are synthetic hybrid inorganic-organic compounds. They are used to form a durable bond between organic and inorganic materials.
Uses of Silane Coupling Agents - MARBOSIL® Range
Silane Coupling Agents are used for the surface treatment of glass fiber products, performance improvement of fiber-reinforced plastics by the direct admixture to the synthetic resin, improvement of paints and other coating materials and adhesives, modification of surface properties of inorganic fillers, surface priming of various substrate materials, etc.
When a silane coupling agent is used in a thermosetting resin-based fiber-reinforced material, remarkable improvements are obtained in the mechanical and electrical properties of the material and the effect is more remarkable when the material is used in a wet or humid condition.
Application of silane coupling agents to thermoplastic resin-based fiber-reinforced materials is also actively performed along with the efforts to develop a silane coupling agent having further enhanced coupling effects.
