Silanes are very versatile molecular substances, composed of a central silicon atom, two or three hydrolyzable groups and an organic main group. The hydrolyzable groups are able to react with inorganic surfaces, rich in hydroxylic groups, while the main organic group is normally compatible with resins and organic materials, such as polyester, acrylic and olefins, among others. That is why silanes are used as organic-inorganic coupling agents, providing greater adhesion of sealants, adhesives, paints and varnishes to various surfaces, in addition to promoting compatibilization of glass fiber in composites, among other applications. We offer a wide portfolio of silanes for different applications: adhesion promoters, coupling agents, dispersing and hydrophobizing agents, moisture scavengers, among others.

•Very stable aqueous solution
•Adhesion promoter
•Primer
Aqueous solution of an aminofunctional silane homopolymer, used as an additive or primer in water-based systems to improve bonding between organic resins and inorganic substrates. Works with phenolic and epoxy resins, as well as with polyurethanes and acrylics.
For use as primer, dilute to 10% solids in water or isopropanol and apply by immersion or by brush.
For use as adhesion promoting additive, it should be added during the final dilution stage at a concentration of 0.5 to 3.0% by weight. If there are fillers, silicas or pigments, higher levels may be required, as the silane may preferentially absorb on these surfaces.
