Dynasylan® OCTEO

Dynasylan® OCTEO is a clear colourless liquid and soluble in common non-polar organic solvents (e.g. petroleum ether, toluene). However its low volatility and viscosity make Dynasylan® OCTEO an easy-to-handle additive. During the hydrolysis reaction between water and Dynasylan® OCTEO a certain amount of ethanol (VOC) is released.

Typical Applications

Dynasylan® OCTEO silane can be used as a surface modifier to generate hydrophobicity on inorganic fillers and pigments, e.g. titan dioxide. The medium-chain alkyl functionality results in unique compound properties when Dynasylan® OCTEO treated minerals or pigments are incorporated into polymers, e.g. polyethylene or polypropylene.

Benefits at a glance

Because of its unique structure, Dynasylan® OCTEO exhibits superior hydrophobicity on substrates and forms weather- and moisture-resistant bonds to substrates as well.
Use of Dynasylan® OCTEO silane results in compatibility improvements between pigments or inorganic fillers and organic polymers or solvents, allowing easy pigment (e.g. iron oxides or titanium dioxide) or mineral filler (e.g. ATH, MDH) dispersion.
