Heptadecafluorodecyltrimethoxysilane

Technical Data

Application

• With proper solvent dilution, it can penetrate to the hard, porous inorganic substrate, so as to achieve long-term deep hydrophobic antifouling protection.

• Surfaces should be free of standing water, surface dirt, dust, oils, and other contaminants.

• VANABIO®FS2975A alkyl silanes should be diluted in solvents such as 3M HFE-7200, HFE-7100, Fluorinert FC-77, Solvay Solexis HT-110; or perfluoroalkanes, such as perfluorohexane, perfluoroheptane, perfluorooctane, etc.

• Typical dilution levels is 0.1~2% VANABIO®FS2975A in solvent.

• Formulated solution should be stored at low temperature, sealed and avoid moisture; and it should be used as soon as possible.

• Methods of application include airless sprayer, roller and brush. When a brush or roller is used, repeated applications should be made until the surface remains moist for a few minutes. If an airless sprayer is used, application should continue until the substrate is thoroughly saturated. Sprayers should be fitted with solvent resistant hoses and gaskets.

• Substrate silicone waterproofing coating and antifouling performance test should be carried out after being cured completely, usually 24 hours later.

• Treated substrates are hydrophobic, antifouling and retain their original appearance.

  
  

• After drying at room temperature, it should be cured at least 10 hours at room temperature; or be cured at least 30 minutes at 100~150° C.

• A test application is necessary on each surface to be treated to ensure compatibility and the desired result.

Packing and Storage

• VANABIO®FS2975A is supplied in 1Kg bottle, 5Kg and 25Kg pail.

• In the unopened container VANABIO®FS2975A has a shelf life of one year.
