Silanes
Surface Modifiers
Silanes for surface modification are silanes that do not contain organic reactive groups. This class of silanes will bond to a variety of substrates through the reactive silicon end of molecule leaving the non-organic reactive part of the silane to perform a variety of functions. The organic groups are used for rendering a surface more water repellent, or make the surface more compatible with a coating, or to allow a filler to be more easily mixed into a formulation. The variety of Shin-Etsu silanes available will allow you to tailor your surface to meet your exact requirements.
Features
Modification of inorganic materials
For surface modification of inorganic substrates and fillers (to improve dispersibility in organic resins) and to improve water repellency.
Protection of functional groups
To protect the functional groups during synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals.
Modification of organic resins and as a polymer raw material
For silicone modification of organic resins and as a raw material (monomer) in the production of silicone polymers and resins.
