Dynasylan® HYDROSIL 2909

Dynasylan® HYDROSIL 2909 is an aqueous oligomeric aminoalkyl-functional silane hydrolysate. It is almost colorless aqueous solution with an amine-like odour, miscible with alcohols or water.
Dynasylan® HYDROSIL 2909 can be diluted with water in all proportions (stirring for at least 1 h at RT). During dilution, the oligomeric structure changes and the number of SiOH groups increases. The hydrolysates are long-term stable.

Typical Applications

Dynasylan® HYDROSIL 2909 is a trifunctional organic compound in which the silanol groups can be bonded to an inorganic substrate and the organophilic aminoalkyl group can interact with a suitable polymer or resin.
Examples of suitable inorganic substrates are:
  • glass, glass fibers, glass beads and glass wool
  • mineral wool
  • metals
  • and various fillers like quartz, wollastonite or ATH.

Examples of suitable polymers or resins are:
  • Thermosets like epoxy, phenolic, furanic and melaminic resins
  • Thermoplastics like PA, PBT, EVA, PPS, MAPE, MAPP, PVB, acrylates
  • Elastomere like silicones

Dynasylan® HYDROSIL 2909 finds application in many industries. Advantages arise in water-based systems.
Examples are:
  • as a glass and metal primer
  • as a size constituent of glass fiber/glass fabric composites or mineral wool insulating materials
  • as an additive to foundry resins and abrasives
  • as a pretreatment or an additive to mineral-filled thermoplastic compounds
  • as an additive for adhesives and sealants to improve adhesion to the substrate
  • as an additive and/or primer for paints and varnishes to improve adhesion to the substrate

Benefits at a glance

The particular advantage of Dynasylan® HYDROSIL 2909 compared with the corresponding monomeric amino- or alkyl-functional alkoxysilanes are:
  • Alcohol content of ≤ 1% garantees nonflammability, safe handling and minimal volatile organic constituents emisssion.
  • No hydrolysis chemistry is needed as Dynasylan® HYDROSIL 2909 is a ready-to-use aqueous silane hydrolysate.
  • Easily diluted with water to adjust to target concentration.
  • Applicable in a broad pH range.

Important product effects that can be achieved by using Dynasylan® HYDROSIL 2909 are:
  • Improved mechanical properties, e.g. flexural strength, tensile strength, impact strength, modulus of elasticity.
  • Improved resistance to moisture and corrosion.
  • Improved adhesion by excellent surface wetting of inorganic substrates and optimal reaction with organic polymers.

Dynasylan® HYDROSIL 2909 helps as well to improve processing properties such as:
  • Nonflammability making almost no particular equipment safety precautions necessary.
  • Better filler dispersion leading to increased filler content during compounding.
