The national technical seminar on silane industry in 2015 was held at the International Hotel of Shanghai Guangzhou Convention and Exhibition Center on November 13.

The first speaker, Dr. Meron, President of Golden Bridge International Consulting Company of the United States, based on his work experience abroad, made a benchmarking analysis of the functional silane industry at home and abroad, and made a summary speech, suggesting that domestic silane manufacturers should extend downstream and learn the solution model of foreign companies. "Conditional companies can consider establishing small applications based on their main products." Gradually expand its application technology research and development and technical services in this field.

Professor-level senior engineer of Wuhan University, Dr. Liao Jun, in his report "Silane for Cultural Relics Protection and Its Expanded Application", explained the principle of minimum intervention in the protection of cultural relics, and the weatherability, surface properties, dielectric properties, physiological inertia, low flammability and repairability of silicone. Make it the most suitable for the protection of cultural relics. In addition to silane, silica gel, silicone oil, silicone resin and POSS can also be used for the protection of cultural relics.

Dr. Zhang Qunchao, Technical Director of Hubei New Blue Sky New Material Co., Ltd. gave a report on "Silane Coupling Agent Action Mechanism, Functionalization Technology and Innovative Application in Coatings" at the Silane Seminar. Dr. Zhang introduced in detail the functionalization technology of silane coupling agent, silane modified polymer technology and nano hybrid technology. It is emphasized that hybridization is the mainstream of technology development. A silane coupling agent developed by a foreign company is introduced, which combines the characteristics of KH550, KH570 and KH171. Dr Zhang also recommended 7 innovative directions for the application of silane coupling agents: (1) glass fiber reinforced materials; (2) innovative application of inorganic powder filler and pigment dispersing; (3) application of alpha silane; (4) chain alkyl emulsion polymerization technology; (5) water system adhesion promoter; (6) special silane for low VOC water system; (7) latent silane coupling agent.
