Silane Coupling Agent KH-553
Name: Silane Coupling Agent KH-553
Chemical name: 3-Aminopropylsilanetriol;  (3-Aminopropyl)silanetriol
CAS No.: 58160-99-9

KH-553 is an aqueous solution of an aminoalkyl siloxane. This alcohol-free siloxane improves significantly the adhesion and coupling between organic resins and inorganic surfaces.

Performance Materials
KH-553 is most often used in aqueous systems where the alcohol of hydrolysis causes instability of the formulation or where a high flash point additive is required. The product also reduces volatile organic content (VOC) and does not contain hazardous air polluting substances (HAPS).

These benefits are particularly useful to manufacturers seeking to reduce emissions from their water-borne products and processes.

Key Features and Typical Benefits
Amino Functionality: Reacts with many types of resins
Promotes bonding to many inorganic materials
Silanol Functionality: Adheres or couples with inorganic materials, such as siliceous fillers, glass and metal substrates
Contains No Alcohol of Hydrolysis: Easily diluted with water for safer and easier handling Reduced VOC and HAPS emissions without sacrificing performance

Potential Applications
KH-553 silane is used as an additive for water-soluble or dispersible resin formulations or as a surface treatment. Resins that are reactive with KH-553 silane resins, include vinyl and acrylic latexes, epoxies and phenolics. Typical applications

where KH-553 is used are:
Waterborne Sealants
Waterborne Coatings
Waterborne Adhesives
Filler Treatment
Insulation Glass Fiber Binders
Waterbased Primers
