Silane-modified polymers are designed to combine the strength of polyurethanes with the weathering resistance of silicones.¹ In addition to their high-performance properties, these hybrid polymers are achieving popularity due to their solvent- and isocyanate-free nature.²

Adhesives play an important role in creating sustainable and resilient infrastructure. While the hybridization of adhesives is not a novel concept, recent innovations in raw materials have unlocked new possibilities for toughened epoxy systems.

Sealants and adhesives are important tools on the construction job site and for home projects.

The silyl-modified polymers market is poised to grow at a CAGR of around 4.6% from 2019-2029, as demand for new and lightweight assembly materials in transportation and wind energy applications soars.

This first installment of a two-part series highlights the value proposition of today's adhesive chemistries and curing methods to high-value end-use markets.
