Silane coupling agents are organo-functional silanes with the ability to bond organic polymer systems to inorganic substrates. A chemical substance capable of reacting with both the reinforcement and the resin matrix of a composite material. It may also bond inorganic fillers or fibers to organic resins to form or promote a stronger bond at the interface. May be applied from a solution or the gas phase to the reinforcement, added to the resin, or both. Agent acts as interface between resin and glass fiber (or mineral filler) to form a chemical bridge between the two. Most commonly used are Epoxy Silane, Vinyl silane, Aminosilane, Methacryloxy Silane, Alkyl Silane, Isocyanic Silane, Dry Silane .
