Silanes are saturated hydrosilicons, which include silicon and hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen atoms. It comprises a homologous series of inorganic compounds that are synthetically derived for commercial purposes. Silicon atom possesses four bonds, where a hydrogen atom is attached to a silicon atom. The size of the silane compound is defined by silicon atoms. Silanes can improve compression strength, wetting properties, adhesion properties, electrical properties, shear strength, and mechanical properties.
In the recent few years, silanes have witnessed significant penetration owing to the growing end-user across the various sector including paint, adhesives, and rubber & plastics industry. Silanes are further used as an adhesion promoter for additives or primers in coatings, paints, adhesives & sealants, and inks. Also, construction applications including bridge and deck utilized silanes as a function for hydrophobing or dispersing agents. Moreover, it is used to cross-link acrylics, urethanes, and polyethylene to improve properties such as water resistance, heat resistance, and durability, in adhesives, paint, and coatings.
