Metal Surface Treatments
Application Areas
Metal Matrix for Composites
Silanes strengthen interfacial bonding when metals are combined with plastics, rubbers, or fibers, enhancing mechanical performance of composites.
Metal Cutting & Machining
Silanes act as dispersing and lubricating additives in cutting fluids, improving interfacial lubrication and reducing friction and wear.
Phosphate Alternatives
Functional silanes can be used as alternatives to traditional phosphating, improving adhesion between metal surfaces and coatings while enhancing corrosion resistance and processing stability.
Chromium-Free Passivation
Silanes replace hexavalent chromium treatments on galvanized steel and aluminum alloys, ensuring corrosion protection while meeting environmental regulations.
Main Performance Improvements
Enhanced Processing Efficiency
Improves lubrication and stability of cutting fluids, extending tool life and ensuring machining precision and productivity.
Eco-Friendly & Sustainable
Silanes partially or fully replace traditional phosphating and chromating, reducing heavy metal pollution and wastewater discharge.
Enhanced Coating Adhesion
Strengthens bonding between metal substrates and paints, powder coatings, or adhesives, reducing risks of delamination and cracking.
Improved Corrosion Resistance
Silanes create stable organic-inorganic layers on metal surfaces, enhancing oxidation and humidity resistance.
