Athon CA 769 Silane

DESCRIPTION

Athon CA 769 Silane is a reactive chemical containing methyl functionality and 3 hydrolyzable methyl ethyl ketoxime groups bonded to the silicon atom.

CHARACTERISTICS

Athon CA 769 Silane is a reactive substance used in the manufacture of oxime neutral cure silicone sealants.

APPLICATIONS

Athon CA 769 Silane is used as a crosslinking agent for oxime cure sealants. It can be used alone or in combination with other oxime silanes to achieve specific properties (such as desired cure rate, adhesion, etc.)
In contrast to acid or base cure systems, no primary acid or amine is released during application, but a neutral species, 2-butanoneoxime.
Due to the neutral character of 2-butanoneoxime, oxime sealants can be applied even to corrosion-sensitive substrates such as metals or marbles.
