Long-chain Silanes

Long-chain Silanes

Silico has successfully developed a series of long-chain silanes, including octyl (C8), dodecyl (C12), and octadecyl (C18) silanes. These long-chain silanes exhibit exceptional hydrophobic properties, making them highly effective as water scavengers. Additionally, they function as surface modifiers and reducing agents, enhancing the performance of micro- and nanoparticles, mineral fillers, and pigments. Their advanced properties contribute to improved dispersion, stability, and surface treatment efficiency in various industrial applications.

Functions & Applications of Long-chain Silanes

Silico’s long-chain silanes are highly valued in the construction industry for their excellent water-repellent properties. These silanes are key components in hydrophobic treatments, penetrating cementitious substrates and forming a durable chemical bond that enhances water resistance while maintaining the original appearance.

Octyltriethoxysilane (CAS No. 2943-75-1) is a widely used hydrophobing agent, acting as both a surface modifier and protective agent. It significantly improves the hydrophobicity of concrete, ceramics, and glass, making it essential for advanced waterproofing solutions.

How to Select Long-chain Silanes?

Selecting the right long-chain silane involves considering key factors:

  1. Functional Group Compatibility: Choose a silane whose functional group matches your substrate and application needs.

  2. Alkoxy Group Structure: The type of alkoxy group (e.g., methoxy or ethoxy) affects hydrolysis rates and bonding strength.

  3. Application Method: Decide on the best method, such as aqueous alcohol solutions, for uniform silane coating.

  4. Performance Requirements: Choose a silane based on desired properties like hydrophobicity or improved adhesion.

By evaluating these factors, you can select the best long-chain silane for your needs.
