Overview of 3-Mercaptopropyl Trimethoxysilane
3-Mercaptopropyl Trimethoxysilane can be described as an organ that is used in rubber and plastics as a coupling agents and adhesion booster. Its methoxy and mercapto groups as well as silane groups aid in bonding organic polymers with surfaces such as glass, metals, and fillers.
If you don't have a technical knowledge, the chemical functions as a chemical additive which makes materials, rubbers and other coatings stronger, more robust, and resistant. This helps the products to stick better and last for longer.
In industrial formulations, 3-Mercaptopropyl Trimethoxysilane is commonly used alongside chemicals such as Triallyl Cyanurate, Caprolactam, and Polydimethylsiloxane Vinyl Terminated to achieve consistent processing and superior product performance.
