Next Generation of Silane Oligomers for Magic Moments in Moisture Curable Technologies

Organofunctional silanes (Dynasylan®) are playing a fundamental role as high-perfor-mance adhesion promoters and co-crosslinkers in numerous adhesives and sealants. Traditional silane monomers often give a versatile adhesion spectrum on various important substrates, in e.g. automotive, construction or industrial applications, while silane oligomers offer additional advantages regarding compatibility to polymers, adhesion, mechanical properties, handling or environmental aspects.

As a pioneer in eco-friendly silane solutions, Evonik has already launched multi-functional silane oligomers to the A&S industry, to contribute to the green future of finished A&S systems. Such silane oligomers of the 1st generation typically create superior performance in challenging requirements but they partly also release methanol as a by-product. In this presentation, the results of several lab studies with newly developed organofunctional silane oligomers of the new 2nd generation in moisture curable formulations (e.g. SMP and silicones) will be shown. Next to lower amounts of released VOC (volatile organic compounds) during cure, new oligomers also contribute to better formulate methanol free products, and to have a positive impact on labeling - a topic that is coming more in the focus of today’s discussions.

Dr. Thomas Schlosser

Director Applied Technology “Adhesives & Sealants”, Smart Materials Division, Functional Silanes & Silica

Dr. Schlosser obtained his Ph.D. in organosilicon chemistry from the Technical University of München. After joining Degussa AG in 1996, he worked in R&D and Applied Technology for organofunctional silanes providing a wide variety of market solutions in dental and in plastic applications. Since 2004, he has focused on the adhesives and sealants industry with a major focus on R&D, Product Development and Applied Technology for organofunctional silanes, and the subsequent inclusion of fumed and precipitated silica products in 2007. Over the past 15 years, he has developed several new products and provided extensive technical solutions to the market. As an experienced and well-known member of the adhesives and sealant community, he has given technical presentations at various Trade Shows and FEICA conferences.

Within Evonik Operations GmbH (and its Smart Materials Division), he currently holds the position Director Applied Technology “Adhesives & Sealants” for Functional Silanes and Silica.
