YAC-V171 offers vinyl and silane functionality, making them suitable for crosslinking organic polymers. The resulting Si-O-Si crosslink sites are highly resistant to exposure to moisture, chemicals and UV. Siloxane crosslinks tend to not generate color and are resistant to environmental factors, such as acid rain.

YAC-V171may also be useful as a moisture scavenger in moisture cure systems where enhanced shelf-life is sought.

YAC-V171 silane can be incorporated into urethane, silylated polyurethane(SPUR prepolymer) or other silane modified polymer based sealants and adhesives to extend the systems shelf-life.
