GENIOSIL® XL 10
GENIOSIL® XL 10 is an alkoxyvinyl silane compound. When exposed to moisture, the silane undergoes hydrolysis, resulting in the release of methanol. This hydrolysis process leads to the formation of silanols, which have the ability to react with each other and form siloxanes. The applications of GENIOSIL® XL 10 include marine and protective coatings, plastic additives, and plastic crosslinking.

- Properties
Pipes and cables produced from silane-crosslinked polyethylene (PE-Xb) using GENIOSIL® XL 10 are more resistant to heat and weathering than products made from non-crosslinked polyethylene.; They also have improved electrical properties. The storage stability is greatly enhanced in formulations of silane-crosslinking adhesives and sealants.; Use of GENIOSIL® XL 10 as a co-monomer in polymer dispersions results in binders which exhibit much improved wet scrub resistance and higher abrasion resistance thanks to crosslinking and improved adhesion to the substrate.
