Triethoxyvinylsilane: Guide
Vinyltriethoxysilane (CAS 78-08-0) is a versatile silane used as a coupling and cross-linking agent. It improves the adhesion between glass fibers, inorganic fillers, and vinyl-reactive resins.
It offers excellent resistance to pressure cracking, abrasion, and impact. Commonly used in silane cross-linked polyethylene cables and pipes, it is also used in RTV silicone rubber and as a water repellent for glass fabrics.
Applications:
- Crosslinker for polyethylene (PE) and other polymers
- Silane cross-linked polyethylene cables and pipes
- Surface treatment agent for glass fibers
