Krahn Chemie and Nanjing SiSiB Silicones Co. Ltd. have concluded into a sales and distribution agreement for organofunctional silanes in Europe.

Silanes because of their chemical structure allow bonding with both inorganic and organic molecules. Silanes are used as adhesion promoters, coupling agents or drying agents in a wide range of applications, which include adhesives, sealants, artificial marble, thermosetting plastics, paints, coatings, foundry resins, functionalized fillers, glass fiber and fabrics, plastic compounds for cables and pipes, and rubber compounds.

Besides standard commercial silanes, for example amino, epoxy, oximino, and vinyl silanes, the extensive portfolio of SiSiB@ silanes additionally comprises multi-functional, oligomeric silanes. Moreover, an additional service offers custom-tailored mixtures and product adaptations.

“We are delighted about this new cooperation. With the silanes of SiSiB we offer an attractive alternative for our customers in Europe. The quality and the product scope are convincing,” says Thorben Liebrecht, Business Segment Manager Plastics, Adhesives and Sealants at Krahn Chemie.
