Thermosets

Evonik solutions for thermosets

  • Network formation
  • Adhesion promotion

Many industries require heat-resistant materials. For this case, thermosets are the materials of choice for constructions with plastic. Once shaped, they form a three-dimensional, cross-linked structure and retain their shape even when exposed to high temperatures. This makes them the ideal material for applications such as circuit boards or fiber composites for aerospace applications.

Silanes like DYNASYLAN® are used in the production of thermosets, such as phenolic or furan resins, to establish stable chemical bonds between inorganic fillers and the polymer matrix. They promote the cross-linking of polymer chains, enhancing the mechanical strength and heat resistance of the thermoset. Silanes can also be applied to the surface of thermosets, improving their adhesion to other materials.
