Surface Treating Silanes

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 (formerly known as GlassClad)
