| Empirical formula: C5H12O3Si CAS No.: 2768-02-7 Properties: Pipes and cables produced from silane-crosslinked polyethylene (PE-Xb) using GENIOSIL® XL 10 are more resistant to heat and weathering than products made from non-crosslinked polyethylene. They also have improved electrical properties. The storage stability is greatly enhanced in formulations of silane crosslinking adhesives and sealants. Use of GENIOSIL® XL 10 as a co-monomer in polymer dispersions results in binders which exhibit much improved wet scrub resistance and higher abrasion resistance thanks to crosslinking and improved adhesion to the substrate. Special features: GENIOSIL® XL 10 is an alkoxyvinylsilane.It´s a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic odor.The silane hydrolyzes in the presence of moisture (methanol is released) to form silanols, which can then react with themselves to produce siloxanes. Application: GENIOSIL® XL 10 is used in the production of pipes and cables made of silane-crosslinked polyethylene (PE-Xb), as a water scavenger during the production of silane-crosslinking adhesive and sealant formulations, and as co-monomers in the production of silane modified binders for surface coatings.
