Principal reactions involved in silane cross-linking of polyethylene.
PURE SILANE SiSiB® PC6110 (Vinyltrimethoxysilane) is used for silane crosslinking and the production of crosslinkable polyolefin compounds. Silane SiSiB® PC5861(n-Hexadecyltrimethoxysilane) is used as water scavenger and precuring retarder. They can increase shelf life as well as safety in handling and processing of silane crosslinkable compounds.
MULI-COMPONENT SILANE SiSiB PC6110Sxxx formulated silanes are fully formulated multi-component systems containing peroxide, catalyst and additives.

PC6110S758 | For Monosil Process pipes. |
PC6110S870 | For halogen-free flame retardant cables and semiconductive compounds containing carbon black. |
PC6110S928 | For low or medium voltage cables on copper conductor. Provides higher grafting density and faster moisture-curing than 6110S735 |
PC6110S963 | For low or medium volume cables on copper conductor. |
PC6110S966 | For low or medium voltage cables on copper conductor. |
SiSiB also provides DRY SILANE, which is similar to Monosil except that instead of using liquid silicone additives, the silane, initiator, and catalyst are absorbed into a porous resin (typically polypropylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), high- or low-density polyethylene). The Drysilane masterbatches are available with different silane loadings in the range 40 to 70 wt%. Dry-silane technology can be used for a wide range of LDPE and LLDPE grades.
