Application and Value of Silane in Rubber Processing
Rubber products have a wide range of applications in daily life and industrial production, and silane plays an important role in rubber processing, enhancing the performance and value of rubber products.


During the vulcanization process of rubber, silane gas can increase the crosslinking density of rubber. The increase in crosslinking density can form a tighter network structure between rubber molecular chains, thereby improving the mechanical properties of rubber, such as increasing tensile strength, tear strength, etc; Enhance heat resistance to enable rubber to maintain good performance even in high temperature environments; Improve aging resistance and extend the service life of rubber products.


In addition, silane gas can also serve as a coupling agent for rubber. Rubber often needs to be compounded with other materials (such as metals, fibers, etc.) during use to achieve better performance. Silane coupling agents can form chemical bonds between rubber and other materials, enhance their bonding strength, and improve the overall performance of composite materials. For example, in tire manufacturing, the use of silane coupling agents can improve the adhesion between the tire and the wheel rim, enhance the wear resistance and puncture resistance of the tire.
