Key Features and Typical Benefits

Feature Benefit
Ethoxy Silane  Bonds to inorganic substrates to provide excellent
Functionality wet and dry adhesion.
 Fast hydrolysis rate.

 Ethoxy silanes react directly with silanols or with water to produce silanols.
 The newly formed silanols can react with other alkoxides or self-condense to
produce a siloxane bond and water.
 When an acid catalyst is used, protonation of the alkoxysilane increases the
reactivity of the leaving group.
 When a base catalyst is used, deprotonation of the silanol forms a reactive
silonate anion. The by-product of the reaction is an alcohol.
 Common metal catalysts for these reactions are alkoxytitanium derivatives and
dibutyltin dicarboxylates

Application

YAC-N123, an alkylalkoxysilane, is an important component in sol-gel system. It is a

crosslinking agent for room temperature cured silicone rubber, coupling agent for glass
fiber and SiO2, a strengthing treatment agent for plastic-layer pressing material.
