01 Water Repellents and Surface Protection 

Nature can be a tough adversary - water intrusion, sunlight, wind and abrasion, infiltration of organisms, or even accidental stain damage.

Silanes can give water- and stain-repellent properties to surfaces. Alkoxysilyl groups attached to these silanes allow them to penetrate,

cure in and bond to many inorganic substrates. These unique properties allow for versatile and durable solutions to protect against

harmful water- and oil-borne elements.

 

02 Paints, Inks, and Coatings 

The unique capabilities of silanes make them ideal for high-performance paints and coatings, as do their ability to withstand physical,

chemical, environmental and thermal degradation. They can be used in waterborne or solventborne formulations, are compatible with

most binder systems, are suitable for low-VOC, sustainably formulated products and are versatile and easy to use.

 

The use of silanes in coatings can provide improvements in adhesion; resistance to moisture, chemicals, ultraviolet (UV) rays and

abrasion; and improved dispersion of fillers. Silanes are also used as intermediates to produce silicates and siliconates via reaction with

metal hydroxide. These materials are used in protective finishes, such as zinc-rich primers, masonry treatments for water repellency, or

compounded directly into concrete coatings for improved physical properties and water repellency.
