Mineral and Filler Processing
The metal hydroxyl groups on mineral surfaces are generally hydrophilic and thus incompatible with organic polymers. Alkoxysilanes are naturally suited for surface treatment of minerals, enhancing their compatibility and dispersibility in polymers and even enabling the fillers to function as reinforcing additives. Beyond applications in plastics, the use of silane-modified minerals in organic rubbers has also grown increasingly important.
