Silane coupling agents. (Materials).


The patented NXT NXT Next  silane silane
 or silicon hydride

Any of a series of inorganic compounds of silicon and hydrogen with covalent bonds and the general chemical formula SinH(2n + 2).
 coupling agent is said to represent a significant breakthrough in silica tire compounding technology. Compared to existing materials, the NXT silane coupling agent is said to enable improved processing, lower viscosity, better filler dispersion, fewer mix cycles and greater dynamic mechanical properties for silica-filled tread compounds. NXT silane is also said to give excellent age stability to the silica tread compound, allowing for longer storage and shipping, while reducing the volatile organic content, according to according to
prep.

2. In keeping with: according to instructions.

3.
 the company. NXT silane is said to be the first member of a proprietary new generation of silane coupling agents that allows single-step compounding of rubber to make silica tire treads. In addition to easier compounding, NXT silica coupler Refers to a myriad of different types of sockets for plugging in electric or electronic cables or devices. See network coupler.  is said to provide additional important properties like lower viscosity, age stability and reduction in VOCs to the tire compound.
