Functional silanes can be used as adhesion promoters between organic polymers and inorganic substrates. They can also be used as bonding components and coatings in scratch-resistant and corrosion-resistant coatings. Additionally, they can serve as dispersants for fillers and pigments, co-monomers for emulsion polymerization, water-stabilizing agents, as well as curing agents, abrasion-resistant agents, anti-corrosion agents, catalysts, and water and oil repellents in various coatings.
