| Empirical formula: C7H18N2O4Si CAS No.: 23843-64-3 Properties: Besides the application of GENIOSIL® GF 98 as an adhesion promoter in formulations and primers, it is also used as a coupling agent for modifying fillers and pigments to enhance dispersibility in organic binders and plastics, and thereby improve mechanical properties (flexural strength, tensile strength, modulus etc.). Special features: GENIOSIL® GF 98 is an alkoxysilane with an amino functional group. It´s a clear, colorless to light yellowish liquid with a characteristically aromatic odor. The compound reacts with moisture under hydrolysis of the alkoxy groups and forms silanols, which reacts further forming siloxanes. As a bifunctional amine, GENIOSIL® GF 98 can also interact with numerous organic polymers and thus function as a molecular bridge between organic and inorganic substrates. Application: Important applications of GENIOSIL® GF 98 is the use as an adhesion promoter in sealants, adhesives and coatings, and as a coupling agent for inorganic particles, pigments or fillers.
