PS200

20% Active solution in t-Butanol and Diacetone Alcohol
Glassclad Imparts the Following Properties to Treated Surfaces:

• Non-adherent, non-oily surfaces

• Greater scratch resistance

• Easier cleaning, improved appearance

• Reduces the number of surface polar sites

Uses

Applications where PS200 (Glassclad 18) has been used successfully include:

• Laboratory Glassware – Improves drainage, reduces breakage

• Porcelain Ware – Provides a glide surface and reduces adhesion to other porcelain ware.

• Optical Fibers – Provides lubricity and reduces breakage during fabrication and in operational flexing

• Clinical Analysis – Treatment of analytical equipment extends clotting time of blood, reduces hemolysis, and reduces protein adsorption. PS200 (Glassclad 18) is not for food or drug use.

• Fluorescent Light Bulbs – Increases scratch resistance, reducing breakage, increases surface reactivity

Description

PS200 (Glassclad 18) is a monomeric octadecylsilane derivative in a solution of t-butanol and diacetone alcohol that reacts with water to form a silanol-rich prepolymer and an alcohol. The silanol-rich prepolymer is able to condense with available hydroxy groups of glass or other siliceous materials to form a chemically bound alkylsilicone.
