3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane - Improves chemical bonding of resins to inorganic fillers and reinforcing materials.
DOW CORNING Z-6040 Silane possesses both organic and inorganic reactivity that allows it to react with or "couple" organic polymers and inorganic surfaces.
This dual reactivity should be considered when using DOW CORNING Z-6040 Silane in specific applications.
DOW CORNING Z-6040 Silane is particularly recommended as:
- A treatment on glass fiber for use in reinforced areas
- A treatment on mineral surfaces for use in mineral filled plastics
- An adhesion promoter to enhance the bonding of a polymer coating or adhesive to glass, metals or other polymer surfaces
For example, DOW CORNING Z6040 Silane is used as a finish on woven glass fabric for glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin composites to improve the physical properties, especially the wet strength, of the composite(see Table 1.).
DOW CORNING Z-6040 Silane is effective in improving the physical properties of a mineral-filled polymer such as silica-filled epoxy resins (see Table 2.)
Table 3 shows the effectiveness of DOW CORNING Z-6040 Silane in glass bead-reinforced polybutylene terephthalate.
DOW CORNING Z-6040 Silane is also reccomended as an additive to improve the adhesion of acrylic latex caulks.
Other polymers that are receptive to DOW CORNING Z-6040 Silane are urethanes, acrylics, polysulfides and nylon. |
