KBE-903 (3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane) is one of the most versatile coupling agents, having a broad range of applications in composites, coatings, adhesives, sealants, glass fibers and elastomers. KBE-903 has been utilized in many different materials including thermosets, thermoplastics, and elastomers such as acrylics, epoxies, phenolics, melamines, urethanes, polycarbonates, polyesters, nylons, polystyrenes, PET, PBT, ABS, polysulfides, and silicones. In the majority of these applications, the use of KBE-903 leads to exceptionally strong interaction between the inorganic and organic components of a given system. For example, KBE-903 is commonly used to improve the performance of silica or glass fiber reinforced materials. It can improve many properties such as adhesion to a wide variety of substrates like glass, ceramics, and metals; flexural, compressive, tensile, and interlaminar shear strengths; pigment and filler wetting and dispersion; as well as hydrolytic stability and long term performance during and after exposure to moisture.
Shin-Etsu Silicones produces silicones and silicone products for the Paints and Coating Industry. They provide first rate silicone compounds to develop and increase the reliability and all around performance of a product. One such product type, Silane Coupling Agents, are used as a mediator that helps improve and support bonds between inorganic and organic materials. This allows for surface modification and resin modification to take place. It also aids in the increased adhesion and the enhancement of the mechanical durability of composite materials.

Lists combine the ease of Bookmarks with the versatility of Tags. Instead of one collection of bookmarked items, create as many collections, called "Lists," as you need.
Find the link to your List page in the user menu.
All Tags have been converted to separate Lists, and your bookmarked items have been saved to a "Bookmarks" List.
When you click the Add to List button, a dropdown of your existing Lists appears. Click the List name to which you want to add this product or formula.
You can also create a new List. Simply click "Create a New List" and enter a name.
When you define a new List, the current item is automatically added to it. You can add a product or formula to as many Lists as you need.
Easily see which Lists this item appears in, and quickly go to that List from the links that appear on the page.
