Does more filler mean worse performance? Not necessarily!

Adding fillers (such as silica and silicates) to plastics and rubber can reduce costs, but it usually leads to performance degradation, such as reduced strength and increased brittleness.
IOTA-570 3-(methacryloyloxy)propyltrimethoxysilane changes this logic.
By surface-treating the filler, it can:
improve the compatibility between the filler and the resin
enhance interfacial bonding
allow for more uniform stress distribution
The result is that mechanical properties can be maintained or even improved while increasing the filler dosage.
This is particularly important in systems such as cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and PVC, not only optimizing performance but also significantly reducing material costs, making it a typical solution for "cost reduction and efficiency improvement."
