| Empirical formula: C6H17NO3Si CAS No.: 13822-56-5 Properties: In addition to its application as an adhesion promoter in formulations and primers, GENIOSIL® GF 96 functions as a surface modifier in fillers and pigments, where it improves the dispersibility of the filler and the mechanical properties - such as flexural strength, tensile strength and modulus - of the composites. The silane also reduces the filler's sedimentation tendency in the uncured polymer. GENIOSIL® GF 96 also greatly increases water (vapor) and corrosion resistance. Special features: GENIOSIL® GF 96 is an alkoxysilane with an aminofunctional group. It´s a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic amine odor. As a bifunctional amine, GENIOSIL® GF 96 can also interact with numerous organic polymers and thus function as a molecular bridge between organic and inorganic substrates. Application: GENIOSIL® GF 96 is used mainly as an adhesion promoter in sealants, adhesives and coatings, and as a surface modifier for fillers (e.g. glass, mineral wool, mica, metal oxides) and pigments used in various plastics, including epoxy resins, polyamides, polyacrylates, polyurethanes, ethyl/vinyl acetate polymers and phenolic resins.
