Description du produit
The use of WACKER SILANE M1-TRIETHOXY to render fillers water repellent considerably improves their dispersibility and reduces their sedimentation tendency. Mineral-filled plastics can thus be processed more easily. Additionally, resistance to moisture and chemicals is much increased. WACKER SILANE M1-TRIETHOXY can be used as a constituent of silica gels, silicone resins and silicone rubber. In such compounds, the degree of curing and hence mechanical properties, such as elongation at break, modulus of elasticity and a coating's flexibility, can be controlled precisely by varying the amount of WACKER SILANE M1-TRIETHOXY used. WACKER SILANE M1-TRIETHOXY is an alkylalkoxysilane. The silane hydrolyzes slowly in the presence of moisture (ethanol is released) to form reactive silanols. These react further to produce oligosiloxanes and then polysiloxanes.
