What is Vinyltris(2-methoxyethoxy)silane?
Vinyltris(2-methoxyethoxy)silane (CAS 1067-53-4) is an organosilane coupling agent that bridges inorganic fillers and organic polymer matrices. Also marketed as Silane A-172.
Where is Vinyltris(2-methoxyethoxy)silane used?
- Rubber and tire manufacturing: treats silica and glass fiber reinforcements to improve filler-matrix adhesion
- Plastics compounding: surface-treats mineral fillers such as talc, kaolin and wollastonite before incorporation into polyolefin or thermoplastic systems
- Automotive sealants and adhesives: crosslinking agent for durable bonds to glass and metal
- Printing and packaging: adhesion promoter in UV-curable coatings and inks applied to glass
- It bonds mineral surfaces to resin systems, improving adhesion and mechanical strength.
Good to know: Some suppliers offer pre-hydrolyzed or diluted formulations for direct surface treatment.
Commercial specifications
- 97% or higher purity for industrial use
- Packaging ranging from drums to IBC containers
