Dynasylan® GLYEO
3-Glycidyloxypropyltriethoxysilane
Dynasylan® GLYEO is a bifunctional organosilane possessing a reactive organic epoxide and a hydrolyzable inorganic triethoxysilyl group.
Description
The dual nature of its reactivity allows Dynasylan® GLYEO to bind chemically to both inorganic materials (e.g. glass, metals, fillers) and organic polymers (e.g. thermosets, thermoplastics, elastomers), thus functioning as an adhesion promoter, crosslinking agent and/or surface modifier. Dynasylan® GLYEO is a colorless low-viscosity liquid with a slight terpentine-like odor. It is soluble in alcohols, ketones and aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.
Dynasylan® GLYEO is an important or even essential ingredient in the products of many industries. Examples are:
- glass fiber/glass fabric composites: as a finish or a size ingredient
- foundry resins: as an additive to polyurethane resins
- adhesives and sealants: as a primer or additive
- mineral filled composites: for pretreatment of fillers and pigments or as an additive to the polymer
- paints and coatings: as an additive and as a primer for improving adhesion to the substrate, especially glass and metal
Important product effects that can be achieved through the use of Dynasylan® GLYEO include:
- improved mechanical properties, such as flexural strength, tensile strength, impact strength and modulus of elasticity
- improved moisture and corrosion resistance
- improved electrical properties, for example dielectric constant, volume resistivity
Dynasylan® GLYEO can also improve such processing properties as
- better filler dispersion
- rheological behavior (i.e. viscosity reduction) Newtonian behavior
- increased filler loading
