Application
1-[3-(Triethoxysilyl)propyl]urea (40-52% in Methanol) is a versatile silicon-based compound utilized for various industrial applications. As a silicon source, it is effectively used alongside potassium hydrogen phthalate in the efficient, one-step hydrothermal production of water-soluble silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs). Its adaptability extends to enhancing the performance of multiple resins, including epoxy, phenolic, urea-formaldehyde, polyurethane, polyamide, and melamine. This compound serves crucial roles as an adhesion promoter, surface modifier, cross-linking agent, and dispersant, primarily aimed at improving the adhesion, compatibility, and coating effectiveness of high molecular polymer resins to inorganic mineral powders and fibers. Furthermore, it enhances adhesion to inorganic substrates and water resistance. Its broad applicability spans industries involved in the modification of engineering rubber and plastic materials, paints, coatings, inks, casting resins, adhesives, sealants, glass fibers, abrasives, and more, thereby contributing significantly to the efficacy and durability of materials in these sectors.
