Surface Treating Silanes Impart the Following Properties to Treated Surfaces:

•Non-adherent, non-oily surfaces
•Greater scratch resistance
•Easier cleaning, improved appearance
•Reduces the number of surface polar sites

Uses Applications where Surface Treating Silanes has been used successfully include:

•Laboratory Glassware – Improves drainage, reduces breakage
•Porcelain Ware – Provides a glide surface and reduces adhesion to other porcelain ware.
•Optical Fibers – Provides lubricity and reduces breakage during fabrication and in operational flexing
•Clinical Analysis – Treatment of analytical equipment extends clotting time of blood, reduces hemolysis, and reduces protein adsorption.
•Fluorescent Light Bulbs – Increases scratch resistance, reducing breakage, increases surface reactivity

Our most popular Surface Treating Silanes Coating, PS200 is a monomeric octadecylsilane derivative in a solution of t-butanol and diacetone alcohol that reacts with water to form a silanol-rich prepolymer and an alcohol. The silanol-rich prepolymer is able to condense with available hydroxy groups of glass or other siliceous materials to form a chemically bound alkylsilicone.

Typical Properties of PS200:

% Active: 20% Color

Gardner scale: < 5

Flashpoint: 10°C

Specific gravity(25°C): 0.88

Solidification Point: -30°C
