Silane Modified Acrylate-polyether Hybrid Polymer for Adhesive and Sealants.
Silyl-modified polyethers (SMP) are polymers terminating with a silyl group (Si-O-R). They can be cured by contact with moisture in atmosphere and represent a new generation of raw material for 1-component adhesives and sealants. They are solvent-free and isocyanate-free. Adhesives and sealants made of SMPs have excellent environmental protection performance, great adhesion to various substrates, good mechanical properties, solvent and weather resistance. Its final products are paintable after curing.
Risun polymer, the technology leader of SMPs, offers products and services for all key global markets. Risun’s product portfolio includes TUPS polymers based on hydrosilylation chemistry and STPE polymers based on isocyanate chemistry. Risun also produces isocyanate functionalized silanes. Risun polymers is the largest silane modified polymer producer in China with a capacity of 100,000 metric tons per year. Risun polymer now serves many industries, including electronics, industrial sealing, DIY, automotive, building and construction, and more.
SMPs have very good adhesive to polar substrates, such as glass, wood, cements. However, when comes to plastic substrates, such as PMMA, ABS, PP, it is a big challenge. Another challenge for SMPs is that they are vulnerable to UV and oxygen degradation. Risun polymer successfully addressed both issues with their unique acrylate-polyether hybrid technology. The new product showed much better adhesion to different plastic substrates with enhanced UV and oxygen resistance.
