RESULTS of work on silane finishes for fibrous glass and glass cloth are coming through in a steady stream. Silanes (C&EN, Oct. 15, 1956, page 5060)-a class of monomeric, silicon-containing chemical intermediates-are being applied as finishing agents on glass cloth and fiber laminates for resin systems. The latest silanes that show promise as finishes for fibrous glass are a neutral vinyl silane ester and an amino silane ester, both by Union Carbide and Carbon. And the Naval Ordnance Laboratory has found that its NOL-24, obtained from allyltrichlorosilane and resorcinol, seems to give more strength to glass cloth than the best commercial finish now available. Carbide's vinyl silane, dubbed Silane A-172, shows excellent results with the polyester family of resins, according to company spokesmen. The amino silane ester, coded A-1100, provides a chemical coupling agent so that these finishes can be extended to phenolic, epoxy, and melamine resin systems. According to Carbide's M. H. Jellinek and ...
