Silane Crosslinkers in Paints and Coatings

21 - Apr - 2025 HENGDA Group

Durable, Eco-Friendly Surfaces

Modern coatings demand scratch resistance, flexibility, and environmental compliance. Silane crosslinking agents enable solvent-free, high-performance solutions.

In UV-curable coatings, acrylate-functional silanes (e.g., 3-acryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane) form interpenetrating networks during curing. This enhances hardness without sacrificing adhesion—ideal for hardwood flooring or automotive clear coats.

For anti-corrosive primers, amino silanes crosslink with epoxy resins to create impermeable barriers on steel. Field trials reveal such coatings reduce rust formation by 60% on offshore oil rigs compared to non-crosslinked alternatives.

Waterborne architectural paints also benefit: silane crosslinkers improve washability and mildew resistance, meeting LEED certification standards for green buildings.
