Dynasylan® IBTMO

Dynasylan® IBTMO, an alkyltrialkoxysilane is an important surface modifier and component in sol­gel systems. Dynasylan® IBTMO, an alkyltrialkoxysilane is an important surface modifier and component in sol­gel systems. Dynasylan® IBTMO, an alkyltrialkoxysilane is an important surface modifier and component in sol­gel systems. Dynasylan® IBTMO is a colorless, low­viscosity liquid. Dynasylan® IBTMO is regarded as trifunctional since all three alkoxy groups are able to hydrolyze. Additionally Dynasylan® IBTMO contains an isobutyl group that adds organic character to the products. Hydrolysis leads to silanol groups which, in a subsequent condensation reaction, form very stable siloxane bonds (­Si­O­Si­). Condensation occurs parallel to hydrolysis once a certain amount of silanol groups have been formed. The absolute and relative rates of hydrolysis and condensation depend on a number of factors. The most important factors include pH, concentration, solvent, temperature and the catalyst.

Product Applications
  • Dynasylan® IBTMO silane is used as a surface modifier to generate hydrophobicity (e.g. in inorganic pigments, mineral fillers). The short-chain alkyl functionality results in unique compound properties when Dynasylan® IBTMO-treated minerals or pigments are incorporated into polymers, e.g. polyethylene or polypropylene.
  • Recommended Usage: Loading levels of 0.5 to 1.5 weight-% Dynasylan® IBTMO based on the weight of filler or pigment are typically recommended.
  • Application: Dynasylan® IBTMO is excellent as a dispersion and hydrophobation agent in mineral-filled compounds. In the presence of moisture, the methoxy groups of Dynasylan® IBTMO hydrolyze to produce methanol and reactive silanol groups. These silanol groups react with the filler via silicon-oxygen bridges. Dynasylan® IBTMO can be used in many other applications, such as filler and pigment coatings, dispersions, etc.

Typical Property Improvements:

  • Improved filler dispersion
  • Good processability
  • Significantly reduced water-uptake
  • Strongly reduced stress cracking

Dynasylan® IBTMO is also an important starting material for sol-gel processes. It adds a certain amount of organic character to the siloxane network due to the isobutyl group in the product. Dynasylan® A (tetraethoxysilane) is often used in conjunction with Dynasylan® IBTMO to control the amount of inorganic character of the inorganic network.In some sol-gel applications, Dynasylan® IBTMO is partially hydrolyzed to form a pre-product that can be further hardened using temperature.
