The "gap" between glass and resin
Glass fiber reinforced composite materials are widely used in high-end manufacturing fields such as automobiles, aerospace, and construction, but a long-standing problem is that glass fiber and resin are like water and oil, and they naturally "don't get along"! If the combination is not good, it will lead to problems such as reduced material strength, delamination, and peeling.

At this time, vinyl trimethoxy silane (VTMS) becomes a "super matchmaker"! VTMS can form an active layer on the surface of glass fiber, allowing the resin to "grasp" the glass fiber tightly and no longer loosely delaminate, thereby greatly improving the mechanical properties of the material.

How does VTMS work?
As a silane coupling agent, VTMS has both siloxane groups that can react chemically with the glass surface and vinyl groups that can cross-link with the resin in its molecular structure. In this way, it acts like a "bridge" to firmly connect the glass and resin together.

Application cases: automobiles, wind power, building materials
Automotive industry: Lightweighting is the trend of future automobile manufacturing. Glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) has become an important material for automobile parts (such as body panels, bumpers, etc.) due to its high strength and low density. VTMS is the key additive to improve the performance of GFRP.

Wind power industry: Wind turbine blades are usually made of glass fiber reinforced resin. The use of VTMS can enhance the strength of the blades, improve fatigue resistance, and enable them to operate stably in extreme weather.

Building materials: Glass fiber reinforced cement (GRC) is widely used in modern building facade decoration, curtain walls and lightweight wall panels. The addition of VTMS can effectively improve the bonding strength of the material and make the building components more durable.
