Silane Coupling Agents Shin-Etsus silane coupling agents improve the functionality and quality of materials and make it possible to develop many new products. Silane coupling agents are organosilicon compounds that have two different functional groups, including one that reacts with organic materials and one that reacts with inorganic materials. This unique characteristic enables them to bond organic materials to inorganic materials. Shin-Etsus extensive product line includes silane coupling agents with a wide variety of organic functional groups and chemical reactivities. The organic functional groups include epoxy, amino, ketimino, vinyl, methacryloxy, acryloxy, mercapto, polysulfido, isocyanato, styryl, as well as other organic groups. There are also different hydrolyzable groups available, including chloro, methoxy, and ethoxy. In addition, oligomeric organic functional coupling agents with hydrolyzable alkoxy groups are offered that provide other advantages for materials modifications. Shin-Etsus silane coupling agents can boost the mechanical strength of compound materials, improve moisture resistance and adhesion, and provide resin modification and surface modification to improve the functionality and quality of a wide range of materials.
