The cooperating client is NORDIC ADVANCED MATERIAL, a high-end new materials enterprise based in Gothenburg, Sweden. It specializes in high-end epoxy composite materials, industrial anti-corrosion coatings, and sealing adhesives for new energy equipment, with products widely applied in Nordic wind power facilities, marine engineering equipment, and high-precision electronics, serving top global OEM brands. The enterprise complies with strict Nordic environmental standards, marine anti-corrosion specifications and long service life requirements, making it a high-end client with high technical barriers and stringent quality standards.
The client has long imported dual-amino KH-792 silane coupling agents for glass fiber-reinforced epoxy systems and metal anti-corrosion coatings, with an annual procurement volume of 32 tons. Due to rising overseas raw material prices and lengthy ocean shipping cycles, the client planned to switch to domestically customized modified KH-792. However, after liaising with multiple domestic manufacturers, it found that standard off-the-shelf products failed to meet its special working conditions featuring marine high-humidity salt spray exposure and low precipitation at low outdoor temperatures. Most manufacturers only supplied standard grades without capabilities for targeted formula modification and process optimization. The client ultimately entrusted HiSiaddi with full-process services covering demand breakdown, formula customization, lab and pilot testing, working condition verification, mass production delivery, and compliance support.
KH-792 is a dual-amino functional silane. Based on its proprietary formulas and service environments, the client put forward four core customized requirements:
1. Enhanced salt spray resistance and hydrolysis resistance For marine engineering anti-corrosion coatings: coatings must show no peeling or delamination after 1,500-hour salt spray testing; the silane coupling agent must feature drastically improved hydrolysis stability and retain activity without attenuation under long-term high-humidity conditions.
2. Low chroma & low precipitation For light-colored high-end coatings and transparent sealants: product chroma (Pt-Co) ≤15; no organic precipitates under high-temperature service to avoid compromising product appearance and electrical insulation performance.
3. Stable storage & performance across wide temperature ranges Nordic winters feature warehouse and outdoor construction temperatures as low as -20°C. The product must remain liquid without solidification or layering while maintaining normal fluidity at this temperature; amino active components shall not undergo premature reactions at 85°C high processing temperatures.
4. Low odor & environmental compliance Strict control of residual hydrolysis byproducts such as methanol with faint odor; full compliance with EU REACH, RoHS and Nordic VOC control standards for closed production environments.
5. Batch consistency Batch deviation of main active content ≤0.15%; full test reports provided for every batch with fully traceable production data.
1. Insufficient hydrolysis and salt spray resistance Standard KH-792 undergoes rapid hydrolysis. When applied to marine anti-corrosion systems, coatings suffer from reduced adhesion and localized corrosion in a short period, failing to meet long service life requirements.
2. High chroma and precipitation tendency Conventional grades generally have chroma ranging from 20 to 25 with abundant trace impurities, causing yellowing and haze when formulated into light-colored coatings; small-molecule precipitates form easily under high temperatures.
3. Poor low-temperature performance Standard products turn highly viscous and layered at -10°C, and fully solidify at -20°C, incompatible with Nordic low-temperature storage and on-site construction.
4. Excessive residual byproducts High residual free methanol generated during synthesis creates strong odor and fails VOC thresholds, barring entry into high-end eco-friendly supply chains.
5. Lack of targeted modification solutions Most domestic manufacturers only mass-produce standard grades and refuse to adjust formulas and production processes for niche high-end working conditions, resulting in repeated failed custom sample trials.
HiSiaddi set up a special task force consisting of organosilicon R&D engineers, application technicians and quality compliance specialists. Combining the dual-amino structural characteristics of KH-792 with the client’s working conditions, we implemented the customized solution across five phases: formula modification, process upgrading, performance testing, mass production control and compliance support, completing sample development to mass delivery within 26 days.
1. Molecular structure modification to boost hydrolysis and corrosion resistance Based on the basic KH-792 structure, special hydrophobic modified components were compounded to stabilize siloxane bonds and slow hydrolysis rates. Amino group distribution was adjusted simultaneously to strengthen interfacial bonding with metal substrates, glass fibers and epoxy resins. Testing verified that anti-corrosion coatings formulated with the customized grade retained over 95% adhesion after 1,500-hour salt spray testing, far outperforming standard products in corrosion resistance.
2. Advanced deep purification for low chroma and low precipitation The rectification process was optimized with multi-stage vacuum distillation to precisely remove high-boiling colored impurities and unreacted intermediates. Precision filter cartridges were added to filtration steps to fully eliminate solid particulate matter. Post-optimization, product chroma stabilized between 12 and 14, with zero precipitates under high-temperature accelerated testing, perfectly matching light-colored coatings and transparent sealant systems.
3. Compatible eco-friendly flow additives compounded to improve wide-temperature performance Low-temperature flow improvers compatible with amino silane (without impairing coupling activity) were screened and blended into the formula. Cyclic high-low temperature testing confirmed that after 30 days of constant storage at -20°C, the product remained a uniform transparent liquid without solidification or layering. Active components stayed stable at 85°C processing temperature without premature crosslinking, suitable for full-temperature-range applications.
4. Optimized synthesis and post-treatment to reduce volatile byproducts Reaction ratios and endpoints were adjusted to minimize methanol and other byproduct formation. A negative pressure devolatilization step was added to deeply strip residual small organic molecules, controlling VOC and free methanol content within regulatory limits and drastically reducing odor to satisfy Nordic environmental standards.
5. Dedicated production line control to guarantee batch stability A dedicated independent production line for customized KH-792 was coordinated with the partner factory, with separate feeding, reaction, rectification and filling to avoid cross-contamination with standard grades. All production parameters were fixed to restrict batch deviation of key indicators (main content, chroma, density, impurities, etc.) within 0.15%. A full COA report covering GC content analysis, chroma, hydrolysis stability and VOC is issued for every batch to ensure traceable data and source accountability.
6. Complete international compliance document support Multilingual SDS safety data sheets and TDS technical data sheets were compiled in accordance with EU and Nordic local regulations. Authorized international third-party labs conducted REACH-SVHC, RoHS heavy metal and VOC special testing, with a complete document package delivered alongside shipments to pass client internal audits and downstream end-user factory inspections smoothly.
1. All customized indicators fully met requirements 32 tons of customized KH-792 were delivered in separate batches. After deployment on the client’s glass fiber epoxy composite, marine anti-corrosion coating and sealant production lines, all product performance metrics met specifications. Salt spray resistance, low-temperature adaptability and surface quality of finished products reached the level of imported raw materials, lifting finished product yield by 7%.
2. Smooth customs clearance with full environmental compliance The complete testing and compliance document package passed triple audits by Nordic customs, the client and downstream brands in one go, fully eliminating environmental compliance risks.
3. Supply chain cost reduction & efficiency improvement Compared with the original imported raw materials, overall procurement costs dropped by 28%, while logistics lead time was shortened from 40 days to 16 days, drastically improving supply chain responsiveness.
4. Long-term deep cooperation established The client fully replaced its original imported supplier and signed a three-year annual procurement agreement with annual purchasing volume rising to 40 tons. It also entrusted HiSiaddi with customization and procurement of other amino silanes and functional additives in the same system, forming a stable strategic partnership.
For overseas high-end marine engineering, wind power and precision materials sectors, KH-792 demand extends far beyond basic coupling and adhesion functions. Hydrolysis & corrosion resistance, low chroma & low precipitation, wide-temperature stability and low volatile emissions have become core thresholds for high-end applications.
Restricted by formula and production process limitations, domestic standard-grade products struggle to adapt to special overseas working conditions, while most manufacturers lack R&D capacity for high-end customization. Leveraging mature formula modification, process optimization, application technical guidance and international compliance services, HiSiaddi accurately matched personalized client needs and delivered successful high-end customization. This not only helped the client achieve import substitution and optimize its supply chain, but also built a bridge connecting domestic fine chemical products to mid-to-high-end overseas markets through professional expertise and reliable quality.
