Introduction |
N-[3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine (equal to A-1120, GF 91, KBM603) is a clear, colorless, strongly alkaline liquid with smell being very sensitive to hydrolysis. The chloride content ranges in the lower ppm-level.
N-[3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine is used as adhesion promoter at organic/inorganic interfaces, for modification of surfaces (corrosion prevention, component of primers) or silicone-polymers or as crosslinker (moisture crosslinking of polymers). The application as "coupling agent" leads in general to an improvement of mechanical and electrical product properties above all under exposure to heat and/or moisture. Applications:
- N-[3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine may be used as an effective coupling agent for clay reinforced elastomers such as natural and nitrile rubber, to improve physical and dynamic properties.
- Used as an effective coupling agent for mineral reinforced nylon 6, nylon 6/6 and polybutyleneterephthalate, to increase the flexural and tensile strength of the thermoplastic composite.
- Used as a fiberglass finish or a resinous additive for fiberglass reinforced phenolic, melamine and expoxy thermoset composites.
- Used as a mineral binders in in foundry and abrasive composite applications, to improve adhesion, increase composite strength.
- Used as a glass and metal primer, to improve the adhesion of many coatings (urethanes, epoxies, phenolics and others) to glass and metal surfaces.
- Used as an adhesion promoters in polysulfide, polyvinyl chloride plastisol, silicone two part urethane and epoxy adhesives and sealants.
