Surface Modification Quote

Silane Coupling Agents provide a water-resistant bond between an organic or inorganic pigment or mineral and an organic or inorganic substrate.

Benefits:

  • increased hydrophobicity
  • reduced agglomeration effects
  • improve fill rates
  • increase filler loadings
  • reduced dusting
  • enhanced physical and electrical properties

Metal-Organic surface treatments utilized in the modification of high performance pigments or minerals via adsorption or formation of covalent bonds.

Benefits:

  • offer processing advantages by reducing viscosity
  • physical property enhancements such as improved impact and inhibit corrosion
  • enhance physical and electrical properties
