| Empirical formula: C14H32O3Si CAS No.: 35435-21-3 Product description: SILANE IO-TRIETHOXY is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. Properties: The use of SILANE IO-TRIETHOXY to render fillers water repellent considerably improves their dispersibility and reduces their sedimentation tendency. Mineral-filled plastics can thus be processed more easily. SILANE IO-TRIETHOXY is suitable for water-repellent impregnation of construction materials (especially concrete and reinforced concrete). It increases their resistance to alkalis and reduces water absorption, thus improving durability. As an ingredient in silane-crosslinking formulations, SILANE IO-TRIETHOXY can be used to influence mechanical properties and curing behavior. Special features: SILANE IO-TRIETHOXY is a mixture of isomeric octyltriethoxysilanes, with iso-octyltriethoxysilane as the main component. SILANE IO-TRIETHOXY is practically insoluble in water. The silane hydrolyzes slowly in the presence of moisture (ethanol is released) to form reactive silanols, which can then react with themselves to produce siloxanes. Application: SILANE IO-TRIETHOXY is used to render a wide range of surfaces and materials water repellent (e.g. construction materials, fillers). SILANE IOTRIETHOXY is also used in the production of silane-crosslinking formulations. Information provided by Wacker Chemie AG. |
