Silquest A-171 silane offers vinyl and silane functionality, making them suitable for crosslinking organic polymers.  The resulting Si-O-Si crosslink sites are highly resistant to exposure to moisture, chemicals and UV. Siloxane crosslinks tend to not generate color and are resistant to environmental factors, such as acidrain. Silquest A-171 silane may also be useful as a moisture scavenger in moisture cure systems where enhanced shelf-life is sought.
