Dow Corning Z-6011 Silane gamma-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane Dow Corning Adhesion promoter / Bonding agent >> Organofunctional silane Acrylic/Acrylate Resins Alkyd Resins Phenolic Resins Polyester Polyurethane Metal Other industry >> Glass Coating Dilutable in alcohols/water Dow Corning Z-6011 Silane Dow Corning ® Z-6011 Silane is a reactive chemical containing an alkyl-amine organic group and triethoxy-silyl inorganic groups. Chemically, Dow Corning Z-6011 Silane is designated gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (fw 221.4) and has the formula: (CH 3 CH 2 O)3 SiCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 NH 2 Possessing both organic and inorganic reactivity, Dow Corning Z-6011 Silane can react with organic resins and elas-tomers as well as with the surface of inorganic materials such as fiberglass and silica. The improved bonding of Dow Corning Z-6011 Silane at the organic/inorganic interface often provides: Improved adhesion Increased composite wet and dry tensile strength and modulus Increased composite wet and dry flexural strength and modulus Increased wet and dry compressive strength Increased transparency of fiberglass composites When used as an additive to epoxy coating, Dow Corning Z-6011 Silane improves adhesion of the coating, particularly in very humid environments. Dow Corning Z-6011 Silane will also improve the adhesion of many coatings (urethanes, epoxies, phenolics, and others) to glass and metal surfaces. Best performance is realized when Dow Corning Z-6011 Silane is used as a primer, although addition to the coating also can give benefits. Aminoalkyl-functional silane Low-viscosity fluid Organic and inorganic reactivity; increased composite tensile and flexural strength; improved chemical bonding Coupling agent to improve adhesion of many thermoset resins and elastomers to inorganic surfaces Adhesion promoter and pigment treatment; aminopropyltriethoxysilane Low-viscosity aminoalkyl-functional silane. Used to improve adhesion of many coatings (urethanes, epoxies, phenolics, and others) to glass and metal surfaces, and for pigment treatment. Suits particularly in very humid environments. Can be used as a primer. Provides increased wet and dry compressive strength.
