Adhesion Promoters: Silane Coupling Agents

Poor adhesion is obtained if the silane coating is too thick. A thick, crosslinked silane oligomer is a weak layer and the bond would fail in the silane layer. Poor adhesion is also obtained if the silane coating is too thin because not enough silane is present to give improved bond strength and water resistance.
