N-Vinylbenzyl-N-aminoethyl-3-aminopropylsilane, hydrochloride, Silane concentration: 42% of active ingredient – VPS 1178 is a cationic monomeric aminofunctional silane possessing hydrolyzable inorganic methoxysilyl groups. The dual nature of its reactivity allows VPS 1178 to bind chemically to both inorganic materials (e.g. glass, metals, fillers) and organic polymers (e.g. thermosets, thermoplastics, elastomers), thus functioning as an adhesion promoter and as a surface modifier. VPS 1178 is a dark yellow to brown liquid. VPS 1178 contains 42% active ingredient and about 58% of methanol. To improve the solubility of VPS 1178 in water organic or mineralic acid can be used as catalyst.
