GENIOSIL® XT 50 is a silicone-modified polyetherbasedsilane
-terminated polymer suitable as a binderin moisture curing formulations. It is a clear liquid witha slight but characteristic odor and differs toconventional silylated polymers due to its highreactivity. This is a direct consequence of the structuralproximity of the nitrogen atom to the silicon atom in thedimethoxy(methyl)
silyl-methylcarbamat
e group (alphaeffect).It hydrolyzes in the presence of moisture tofinally form a stable siloxane network initiated by mildcatalysis as opposed to heavy metal ions.
