IOTA-580 3-Mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane is a silicone coupling agent with mercapto functional groups. It is widely used in rubber processing and is commonly found in rubber products such as tires, wipers, and rubber hoses.
IOTA-580 can increase the elastic modulus and tensile strength of rubber and reduce permanent deformation. It can also improve the wear resistance and tear resistance of rubber and prolong the service life of rubber products. IOTA-580 can undergo hydrolysis and condensation reactions with inorganic fillers such as white carbon black, quartz powder, talc, mica, etc. to form chemical bonds, making the filler surface lipophilic, thereby improving the dispersion and compatibility of fillers in rubber. This can reduce the amount of filler and reduce costs, while improving the quality and appearance of rubber products. IOTA-580 can improve the fluidity and extrusion speed of rubber, and reduce the heat and air bubbles generated during processing. It can also be used as a damping agent or release agent to prevent rubber from sticking or sticking during processing.
In addition to rubber processing, KH-580 can also be used in the treatment of gold, silver, copper and other metal surfaces to improve their corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and improve the adhesion of metals to polymer materials. It can be used as a coupling agent, crosslinking accelerator or adhesion promoter to improve the adhesion and weather resistance between the coating or adhesive layer and the substrate. IOTA-580 can also be used as an anti-shrink finishing agent for fabrics to improve the strength and softness of fabrics and prevent fabrics from shrinking or deforming.
