Solvent-based coatings are characterized by excellent technical properties and efficient processing. Evonik's silanes function as coupling agents, ensuring optimal adhesion between coating and substrate. Their good solubility in organic solvents allows for uniform distribution within the coating system and effective reaction with the substrate surface. The resulting covalent bonds stabilize the coating in the short and long term. This leads to scratch-resistant surfaces with high resistance to chemicals, moisture, and mechanical stress. Additionally, the strong chemical bonds created by silanes enhance corrosion protection. These advantages are particularly relevant for demanding industrial applications, where they contribute to an extended service life.
