Organosilane dispersant is an important chemical additive mainly used to improve the dispersibility of solid particles such as pigments and fillers in liquid media. The following is a detailed introduction to organic silane dispersants:
definition
Organosilane dispersant is a special chemical additive, whose main structure is composed of organosilane groups, usually with a large molecular volume and strong adsorption capacity.
main features
Excellent surface activity：Organosilane dispersants can significantly reduce the surface tension of liquids, effectively improve the wettability of solid particles, and promote their dispersion in liquids.
Strong adsorption capacity：Due to its large molecular volume and specific functional groups, organosilane dispersants can firmly adsorb onto the surface of solid particles, preventing particle re aggregation.
Good dispersibility and stability：Organosilane dispersants can uniformly disperse solid particles such as pigments and fillers in liquid media, while maintaining good stability and preventing precipitation and stratification.
classification
According to their applications and properties, organic silane dispersants can be classified into three types: polydimethylsiloxane, siloxane copolymer, and surface modified silicone oil.
polysiloxane：Polysiloxane is an organic silane dispersant with high hydrophobicity and good dispersibility, which has excellent performance in the dispersion of pigment fillers. Common polydimethylsiloxane dispersants include TS610 and TS610A.
Siloxane copolymer：Siloxanes are a type of dispersant formed by copolymerizing organic silicon compounds and copolymer compounds, which have excellent dispersibility and wetting properties. Common silicone copolymer dispersants include DC193, DC200, and DM344.
Surface modified silicone oil：Surface modified silicone oil is also an organic silane dispersant, which mainly wraps inorganic pigments to prevent their aggregation and improve their dispersibility. Common surface modified silicone oil dispersants include BYK342, BYK345, and BYK348.
application area
Organosilane dispersants are widely used in various polymer materials and inorganic pigments, especially in industries such as coatings, inks, ceramics, and cosmetics.
Paint industry：Organosilane dispersants can improve the dispersibility and stability of coatings, and enhance the smoothness and glossiness of coatings.
Ink industry：Adding organic silane dispersants to ink can improve its dispersibility and printing performance, and enhance the quality of printed materials.
Ceramic industry：Adding organic silane dispersants to ceramic glazes can improve the dispersibility and stability of the glaze, and enhance the surface quality of ceramic products.
Cosmetics industry：Adding organosilane dispersants to cosmetics can improve their dispersibility and stability, and enhance the effectiveness of their use.
Advantages and disadvantages
