Attaches the silane polymer, octadecyltrialkoxysilane, to make the surface inert or can polymerize to create an inert film.
Pierce multifunctional siliconizing fluids are specially designed to chemically bind microscopically thin, water-repellent films to glass, quartz, silica and ceramics. The coated surfaces are neutral, hydrophobic and non-oily. In addition, they offer increased resistivity and are not affected by solvents not readily hydrolyzed.
Product Detail
AquaSil Siliconizing Fluid is an easy-to-use silane monomer solution. It is supplied as a 20% solid solution in a mixture of diacetone alcohol and tertiary butyl alcohol. The primary silane component is an octadecyltrialkoxysilane, which, when mixed with water, is hydrolyzed to a silanol. This silanol condenses with available hydroxyl groups to form a film on the glass, plastic or ceramic surface.
AquaSil Siliconizing Fluid is especially useful in the biochemical field because of its aqueous phase application to glass, plastic or ceramic and because of its strong resistance to base hydrolysis.
