Alkoxysilanes Used in Sol-Gel

Sol-Gel refers to a chemical reaction that promotes the growth of colloidal particles (i.e., "sol") and the subsequent formation of a network structure. The precursors used to synthesize these colloids usually consist of metal or metalloid elements surrounded by various reactive ligands.

Various organosilanes can be used in sol-gel, aerogel and xerogel processes, among which alkoxysilanes are the main group. SILFLUO offers a range of alkoxysilanes suitable for this application.

SILFLUO Alkoxy Silane

Coatings produced using sol-gel technology have several key advantages, including:

Corrosion resistance;
Scratch resistance;
Heat and UV resistance;
Easy to clean, anti-fingerprint, anti-graffiti.

The coatings produced can produce extremely thin layers of material through deposition technology, which can be widely used in industries such as construction, automobiles, solar energy, and cosmetics.

Functional silanes belong to the silicone industry chain and contain both organic and inorganic functional groups. They can improve the mechanical properties and chemical stability of downstream products, and improve the product's anti-aging, corrosion resistance, anti-permeability, adhesion, etc. It is an important auxiliary agent with a wide range of uses and is widely used in photovoltaics, semiconductors, aerogels, construction, liquid silicone rubber, cables, coatings, glass fiber, casting, medicine and many other fields.
