SO1458 – TrisilanolPhenyl POSS is a hybrid molecule with an inorganic silsesquioxane at the core, organic phenyl groups attached at the corners of the cage and three active silanol functionalities. SO1458 – TrisilanolPhenyl POSS can be used as a processing aid in thermoplastics and thermosets while still retaining mechanical properties, for surface modification of fillers and other materials or as an epoxy or BMI cure promoter.
