Silane Coupling Agent A-1100 (γ-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane, APTES)
Silane Coupling Agent A-1100 (KH-550, APTES) is an amino-functional silane widely used to improve adhesion between epoxy, polyurethane, and phenolic resins and inorganic substrates. The primary amine group reacts directly with epoxy resins as a co-curing agent while the triethoxysilyl group bonds to glass, silica, and metal oxide surfaces. A-1100 is a standard treatment for glass fiber sizing, mineral filler surface modification, and metal primer applications.
