Description
Aminopropyl PEG POSS® is a molecular union of both functional chemistry and inorganic-organic compositions.
APPLICATIONS:
Surface energy control, wetting, and emollience. Additionally, dispersion and rheological diluency can be realized in specific formulations.
The reactive Aminopropyl groups serve to aid in cross-linking. The PEG groups serve as dispersants, aid in plasticization, and enhance gloss effects. This system also offers enhanced mechanical strength, dispersion, and temperature stability.
COMPATIBILITY
Aminopropyl PEG POSS® is provided in neat form. It is intended to be utilized as an additive. At additive concentrations, compatibility is expected with a wide range of resins and monomers that bear similar chemical functionalities. Compatibility testing is recommended for higher concentrations.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
Aminopropyl PEG POSS® is a mixture of cage sizes 8, 10, and 12. The organic groups are randomly distributed around each core of the cage. The molar ratio of Aminopropyl and PEG groups is 1:1.
The distribution of cage size and functionality around the cage core is analogous to that for functional copolymers.
Heteroleptic Cage POSS are represented by the catalog designation HC. The structure shown is idealized and should not be considered an exact representation.
