HIGH-PERFORMANCE CROSS LINKER AND ADHESION PROMOTER

CoatOSil* T-Cure Silane is a 100% active mercapto silane useful as a crosslinker and adhesion promoter for coating, adhesive and sealant applications. Its area of primary utility is in polyurethane based systems, but it may also find use in epoxy, acrylate and hybrid coatings.

CoatOSil T-Cure silane oligomer may be useful in the development of coating formulations where reactivity with a mercapto silane is desired. This patented oligomer is low in odor compared to standard mercapto silanes and can display a trio of reactive chemistries. In addition to thiol groups, silanol and diols are generated upon the hydrolysis of the silane.

CoatOSil* T-Cure Silane has the following key features and typical benefits:

Key Features and Typical Benefits

Less than 1%wt releasable ethanol
Low odor
Low viscosity
Behaves as reactive diluent within a coating formulation
Can be used in virtually all coating chemistries where mercapto groups can react, e.g.;
- Isocyanates
- Epoxies
- Acrylates

More About CoatOSil™ T-Cure Silane Oligomer

Potential Applications

Coatings for industrial maintenance applications including storage tanks, bridges and exterior steel structures.
Coatings requiring curing at elevated temperatures (heat cured formulations), such as coatings for automotive, appliance or coil applications
Epoxy primers for metals and flooring
Room temperature cure coatings for applications such as aerospace and automotive re-finishing

CoatOSil T-Cure silane is a mercapto silane oligomer. CoatOSil T-Cure silane exhibits a unique structure, very low odor and an opportunity to make use of the difunctional (diol) leaving group in polyurethane cure chemistry. CoatOSil T-Cure silane offers improved hardness development, corrosion resistance and adhesion.

CoatOSil T-Cure silane, offers excellent adhesion improvement, especially on difficult to stick to soft metals like galvanized steel. While CoatOSil T-Cure silane can slow the cure and extend the potlife of tin catalyzed systems, tertiary amines like triethyl amine (TEA) can be used in lieu of tin, offering formulation options and the ability to tailor cure speed while maintaining good corrosion resistance.

This product has shown improvements in the adhesion of primer to substrate, and topcoat to primer. It can also help speed the hardness development of a 2k polyurethane system over a period of a few days to several weeks.
