Andisil® 187 Silane

Andisil® 187 Silane by AB Specialty Silicones is epoxy functional silane used as a coupling agent for unsaturated polyester-fiberglass composites and for polysulfide/polyurethane caulks & sealants. It is used as an adhesion promoter in waterborne acrylic sealants. It enhances the wet electrical properties of epoxy-based encapsulate and packaging materials. It eliminates the need for a separate primer in polysulfide and urethane sealants. Andisil® 187 Silane has a shelf life of 2 years.

Andisil® MOS

Andisil® MOS by AB Specialty Silicones is a crosslinking agent. It is a liquid raw material used for neutral condensation curing silicone sealants. In the presence of a (tin) catalyst, this silane react with hydroxy-functional silicone polymers. Its exposure to moisture results in the formation of crosslinked, elastomeric silicones. In contrast to acidic or basic curing systems, no acidic acid or amine, but 2-butanone oxime is liberated during application. Due to the neutral character of 2-butanone oxime, sealants based on Andisil® MOS can be applied even on (corrosion) sensitive substrates like metals or marble. It has a shelf life of 1 year.
