High Performance Silanes in Various Applications – Dynasylan® Silanes
MS- and SPUR-systems as well as other hybrid polymer based products are getting more and more popular in China. Evonik’s Dynasylan® product is a high performance additive supporting those systems, e.g. as endcapper. In addition Dynasylan acts as an adhesion promoter, crosslinker and water scavenger, some Dynasylan® products can achieve an excellent performance complying with MS-polymer and SPUR-systems. It offers unique property improvements, such as less water uptake and higher elongation. It also can provide adhesion to difficult substrates.
Excellent Ingredients for Adhesive– AEROSIL® Fumed Silica and SIPERNAT® Precipitated Silica
AEROSIL® fumed silica and SIPERNAT® precipitated silica are used as an active reinforcing filler to improve the mechanical properties of adhesives & sealants, with the key functions of rheology control, thixotropy, reinforcement, flow improvement and stabilization. Evonik’s silica products have been widely used in traditional industries and industrial adhesive products for many years. By developing innovative products to the market, we are now providing tailor-made solutions to broader application areas, including adhesives and sealants for solar cells, photovoltaics and wind turbines.
