Description
Glycidyl i-Octyl POSS® is a clear viscous liquid hybrid molecule with an inorganic silsesquioxane core and organic groups attached at the corners of the cage. Glycidyl i-Octyl POSS® is a molecular union of both chemistry and inorganic/organic composition.
Cationic and addition cure. The combination of reactivity and hydrophobicity provides for interfacial compatibility and surface modification. The crosslinking capability in combination with i-Butyl provides for resistance to moisture uptake and low surface energy while retaining optical transmission.
The i-Octyl groups are more reinforcing than the i-Butyl groups present on the HC0409 system.
APPLICATIONS: Surface energy control, hydrophobic wetting, and moisture barrier. Additional use as a compatibilizer can be realized in certain formulations.
