Epoxy Silanes
Fluoro Silanes
Fluoro silanes are specialized organosilicon compounds with fluorine atoms bonded to a silicon backbone. They are primarily used as surface modifiers, creating low-energy, water-repellent surfaces. The incorporation of fluorine enhances chemical resistance and hydrophobicity, making them crucial for durable coatings and protective barriers.
Common applications include electronics, where fluoro silanes are used to create low surface energy polymer networks, and construction, where they provide water-repellent treatments for materials like marble. Fluoro silanes also improve the durability and effectiveness of coatings by enhancing water resistance and surface protection.

Main Features and Functions of Fluoro Silanes
Silico’s fluorine-functional silanes offer excellent UV resistance, weatherability, and abrasion resistance. These silanes act as surface modifiers, imparting hydrophobic and oil-repellent properties. They are ideal for modifying surfaces with hydroxyl, carboxyl, and oxygen-containing groups. Fluoro silanes are used in sol-gel systems, fluorosilicone resin synthesis, and pigment surface modifications (e.g., cosmetics). They also enhance adhesion between inorganic materials and organic fluoropolymer systems, providing outstanding hydrophobic and anti-contamination effects.
Main Markets of Fluoro Silanes
Silico’s fluorine-functional silanes are essential in the synthesis of fluororesins and fluoropolymer copolymers. These silanes provide outstanding waterproof and oil-repellent properties, making them ideal for use as fingerprint-resistant and waterproof additives for mobile phone screens, camera lenses, and other glass products. Fluoro silane coupling agents are also used as additives in sol-gel systems for paints, coatings, sealants, and adhesives. As surface modifiers and adhesion promoters, they significantly enhance the bonding performance between organic polymers and inorganic substrates, such as glass and ceramics.
