Dynasylan® for the wire & cable and pipe industry

For wire & cable applications, moisture-cured XLPE and mineral filled polyolefins or rubbers are used. For these applications as well as for moisture-cured PEX-b pipes, silanes are needed as:

• Adhesion promoters and coupling agent for highly filled compounds,
• Grafting & crosslinking additives for grafted polyethylene (PEg) resulting in PEX pipes or XLPE cables.

Dynasylan^® Oligomers

Multifunctional silanes with their tailor-made oligomeric structure provide different benefits:

• Significantly reduced alcohol release (low VOC–low volatile organic component),
• Combination of different functionalities in one molecule like vinyl, alkyl, amino, and diamino groups,
• High flashpoint,
• Safer handling and storage, additional safety during production,
• No loss of material even at elevated compounding comditions.

With Dynasylan SILFIN^® we provide a wide range of ready-to-use products for the wire & cable and pipe industry but also for other thermoplastic applications. 

With these easy to dose liquid products, we offer tailor-made blends consisting of all necessary ingredients for grafting and crosslinking of polyethene resulting in PEX and XLPE. These products contain vinyl silanes and initiators for the two-step SIOPLAS^® process and additionally crosslinking catalysts plus in some cases other additives like antioxidants, metal deactivator, processing aids, etc. for the one-step process (Monosil^®).
