Usage of Coupling Agents

Silane coupling agents can be used in one of two ways. Before combining the inorganic components with the organic resin, the silane can either be used to treat the inorganic elements' surfaces or put directly into the organic resin.

Surface Modification for Inorganic Materials


Before being introduced to organic resins, inorganic filler materials can be treated on their surfaces using one of two general techniques.

Wet Approach

A highly uniform and accurate surface treatment of the inorganic material can be achieved by combining a slurry of the inorganic materials with a diluted solution of the silane coupling agent.

Dry Approach

In order to disseminate the silane coupling agent into the inorganic components, a high-shear, high-speed mixer is used. Typically, the silane is applied neatly or as a concentrated solution. The Dry Method is frequently chosen over the Wet Method for large-scale manufacturing because it can treat a lot of filler quickly and produces very little mixed waste, although it is more challenging to provide uniform treatment with this method.

Supplementing Organic Materials


Although curing may be more challenging, adding silane to the organic resin is more frequently utilized in industries than methods for treating the surfaces of inorganic materials due to its superior process efficiency. There are two standard approaches.

Continuous Blending

The silane coupling agent is simply included in the composite formula as the inorganic and organic components are combined in this approach.

Chief Batch

In this procedure, a "master batch"—a small portion of the organic resin material to which the silane coupling agent is initially added—is created. When creating composite materials, the masterbatch is typically available as pellets or big granules that may be applied without difficulty to the organic resin pellets.
