Description
Methacryl i-Octyl POSS® is a liquid hybrid molecule with an inorganic silsesquioxane core and organic groups attached at the corners of the cage. Methacryl i-Octyl POSS® is a molecular union of both chemistry and inorganic/organic composition.
Free Radical and Addition Cure. The combination of reactivity and hydrophobicity provides for interfacial compatibility and surface modification. The crosslinking capability, in combination with i-Octyl, provides for resistance to moisture uptake and low surface energy, while retaining optical transmission.
APPLICATIONS: Surface energy control, Hydrophobic wetting and moisture barrier. Additional use as a compatibilizer can be realized in certain formulations.
