Preparation of industrial production of aminosilanes
The technology for the production of aminosilanes is based on the replacement of chlorine in chlorosilanes by groups containing nitrogen under the action of ammonia, primary and secondary amines. They are used as additives to organosilicon, hydrocarbon and epoxy resins or as a binder for a large group of polymers (polyurethanes, polypropylenes, polystyrene, vinyls, silicones, etc.). A wide range of applications of aminosilanes is explained by the presence of hydrocarbon and silicon components.
The Rational Technologies company develops multifunctional units for the synthesis of aminosilanes of various modifications with the possibility of transferring the technology and design of the reactor to the industry of the required level. Experimental work on the development of technological modes, designs and variants of modifications (for example, alkoxysilanes) were carried out in a reactor with a volume of 1 m3. The unit productivity is 50… 300 kg per day. Additionally, the technology for producing alkoxysilanes has been developed, which are used as raw materials for the production of organosilicon monomers and polymers, as well as catalysts in the production of modifications of olefins and an element of paint and varnish coatings of metals and glass.
application
The presence of organic, silicone groups and nitrogen atoms has determined a wide range of applications for amino and alkoxy silanes.
For example:
- Aminosilanes are adhesion catalysts for the manufacture of a wide range of thermosetting, thermoplastic and elastomeric composites.
- They are components of the precision investment casting mold material for making ceramic molds.
- They are one of the components of heat-resistant, chemically and weather-resistant hard coatings of metal and non-metal products or structures.
The field of application of aminosilanes and their derivatives is not limited to the listed examples. But the critical dependence on imports of raw materials and the high cost limit the use of new products on the territory of the Russian Federation. The Rational Technologies company offers cooperation to enterprises and organizations of various forms of ownership for the implementation of technological units for the production of amino or alkoxyxylanes on a contractual basis. The terms of the contract are set individually and take into account the interests of the parties. The company will consider all possible options, including custom synthesis.
