Athon CA 794 Silane is a reactive chemical containing octyl functionality and 3 hydrolyzable ethoxide groups bonded to the silicon atom.
Athon CA 794 Silane has the n-octyl group, a highly hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain that provides excellent water repellency characteristics.
•Excellent improvement in dispersibility of mineral fillers
•Applicable to many natural mineral filler systems and organic polymers
•Very good water repellency on concrete, bricks, masonry substrates etc
•Very easily dissolved in various organic solvents and alcohols
Used to modify surfaces in the construction industry, such as concrete and masonry, forming a protective surface involving mineral particles. N-octyl groups also increase filler dispersibility in paints and organic polymers when used as surface treatment agents in mineral fillers. Athon CA 794 Silane can also be used to modify other surfaces, increasing compatibility with different substrates.
