GENIOSIL® GF 9

GENIOSIL® GF 9 by Wacker is N-(2-Aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane. Acts as a surface modifier. Due to the nature of the amino group, this substance reacts as a strong base. The silane hydrolyzes autocatalytically in the presence of moisture (methanol is released) to form silanols, which can subsequently react with themselves to produce siloxanes or can bind to inorganic substrates. It's a clear, colorless to light yellow liquid with a characteristic amine odor. As a typical amine, GENIOSIL® GF 9 can also interact with numerous organic polymers and thus function as a molecular bridge between organic and inorganic substrates.
