With increasing demand for high-performance, durable coatings, Tetrapropoxysilane (IOTA 5064) has emerged as a key silane coupling agent driving innovation in surface treatments and advanced formulations.
As a colorless liquid with a molecular weight of 264.43 and CAS No. 682-01-9, IOTA 5064 provides excellent compatibility with both organic and inorganic systems. Its ability to improve adhesion between coatings and substrates makes it ideal for use in paints,
anti-corrosion coatings, primers, and protective finishes.
Recent advancements have shown that IOTA 5064 enhances film hardness, moisture resistance, and long-term weatherability, especially when used in silicate-modified systems and hybrid resin blends. Due to its moderate volatility (boiling point: 94°C at 5 mmHg) and flash point (95°C), it also allows for better process control during formulation.
Market Outlook:
With stricter environmental and performance standards across construction and automotive sectors, demand for coupling agents like IOTA 5064 is expected to grow steadily. Coating manufacturers are increasingly turning to this material to boost crosslinking density and achieve superior surface bonding without compromising flexibility.
