Waterborne Aminosilane Oligomer (VOC-Free) | Manta A146

Manta A146 is an aqueous diaminofunctional silane hydrolysate (oligomer) used as a VOC-free adhesion promoter in water-borne acrylics, polyurethane dispersions and epoxies, in reactive sealants and adhesives, and as a sizing agent for glass fibers and ATH or MDH fillers. Pre-hydrolyzed and water-borne, it releases no methanol or ethanol during curing.

Overview

Manta A146 is an aqueous diaminofunctional silane hydrolysate. Unlike traditional monomeric aminosilanes, it is pre-hydrolyzed and water-borne, so it does not release methanol or ethanol during crosslinking or curing. It acts as an adhesion promoter and surface modifier designed for integration into water-borne polymer systems, and it is also used in reactive resin systems.

A146 is miscible and stable in aqueous environments, which allows direct addition to water-based paints, coatings and adhesives. Its diamino functionality provides multiple reactive sites for crosslinking with amino-reactive resins. Its TDS lists the product as VOC-free, and it is shipped as non-hazardous material.

Manta A112 is the closest diamino grade, but it is a trimethoxy silane that releases methanol on hydrolysis. A146 is the pre-hydrolyzed, water-borne option for systems where alcohol release needs to be avoided.
