Description

XIAMETER OFS-6030 Silane is a bifunctional silane containing a methacrylate reactive organic group and a trimethoxysilyl inorganic group. The product is designated – Methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane. XIAMETER OFS-6030 Silane possesses both organic and inorganic reactivity, reacting with organic thermoset resins as well as inorganic minerals such as glass and silica. The chemical bonding at the organic/ inorganic interface that can occur with organofunctional silanes provides a variety of benefits listed above.

Feactures

Methacrylate organoreactive group  Trimethoxy hydrolysable groups on silicon  High purity

Benefits

Coupling agent to improve adhesion of organic resins to inorganic surfaces

Increased composite tensile and flexural strength – both dry and wet

Improved chemical bonding

Increased transparency of polyester fiberglass composites

Applications

XIAMETER® OFS-6030 Silane is used as a coupling agent to improve adhesion of free radical cured resins, such as polyester, to inorganic surfaces, including fiberglass, clay, quartz, and other siliceous materials. The improved adhesion increases dry and wet flexural compressive strength of the composite. Wet strength improvements of approximately 100% are possible. 

XIAMETER OFS-6030 Silane can also be used as a resin additive in mineral-reinforced polyester resin. When used as an additive, this silane can provide improvements in composite properties similar to those obtained from a composite fabricated with a silane-treated mineral reinforcement.
