Many areas of the adhesives and sealants industry have been unimaginable without silanes for decades. It was silanes that made it possible to replace sophisticated and expensive process such as screwing, welding or riveting by adhesives or sealants.
It is the essential performances of silanes that allow adhesives and sealants, when exposed to moisture or applied to particularly difficult surfaces, to be as effective as we know them today.
Silanes protect modern adhesives and sealants from high levels of environmental humidity, and maintain the full adhesive capacity of joined but not yet cured adhesive surfaces.
To understand better how you can benefit from the chemistry of silanes, go through our animation:
