Coupling Agent
(3-Mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (KH-590) is a bifunctional silane coupling agent that enables robust bonding between inorganic substrates (e.g., metals, glass fibers) and organic polymers (e.g., rubber, resins). Its unique mercapto group facilitates cross-linking in sulfur-cured systems, while hydrolyzable methoxy groups anchor to mineral surfaces. Widely applied in tire manufacturing, adhesives, and anti-corrosion coatings, it requires strict moisture control during storage due to sensitivity to hydrolysis.
