At siloxene, we have developed a new class of hybrid inorganic/organic polysiloxane resins that combine a non-functional silicate carrier with specifically tailored organic functionalities. This dendritic structure enables precise interface control, faster curing and superior mechanical performance compared to traditional silanes.
Technology Overview XenCure and XenSlick Product Guide XenRes Product Guide
Our products feature a Q-type ethyl silicate “core/carrier”, decorated with a “shell” of T-type functional silanes.
Thanks to their dendritic molecular architecture and unique organo-polysiloxane hybrid chemistries, siloxene products are the ideal solution for tuning material properties and interface behavior across a wide range of applications.
Discover Our ProductsSiloxene materials are a new class of functional polymer silanes. They consist of T-type silanes grafted onto a dendritic Q-type ethyl silicate carrier. This structure differs from traditional silicone resins (polysiloxanes), which are composed of D-type and T-type silane units.
Conventional silicone oils and fluids derived from D-type components are increasingly regulated due to their persistent, bioaccumulative and potentially hazardous nature. In contrast, Q–T polysiloxanes are inherently non-hazardous and are generally silicone-free.
The siloxene technology platform includes Q-T polysiloxane compounds functionalized with various organic groups and are offered in 5 different product families (i.e. XenCure™, XenSlick™, XenLink™, XenBlu™ and XenRes™). Whether you're looking for reactive or hydrophobic properties, we have a solution for you.
The siloxene portfolio offers a wide range of functionalities, allowing us to tailor to many applications. We also offer hybrid solutions where these functional groups allow polysiloxanes to be embedded in different resin systems, such as isocyanate, epoxy, acrylate and silane-terminated polymers (STPs).
We are entering a new era of advanced materials that deliver exceptional performance without relying on nanoparticles. While nanomaterials have contributed to improved formulations, they often come with safety concerns and regulatory complexities that limit their broader appeal. Our customized nano-free materials are designed to match or even exceed the performance of nanoparticle-based systems, all while remaining label-free and fully regulatory compliant. This is a significant step toward safer, more sustainable and high-performance materials.
Our innovative siloxene technology offers a smarter and more efficient alternative to traditional T-type silanes. Unlike monomeric or oligomeric forms that require large volumes, our grafted T-silane achieve the same functionality with significantly less material. This not only improves sustainability but also delivers clear economic advantages.
Thanks to a patented "core-shell" structure, the functional groups in our compounds remain highly accessible, while the ethyl silicate-based carrier accelerates curing. This design enables precise control of surface properties such as wetting and adhesion, making it ideal for advanced formulations. With tunable loading and silane types, siloxene technology opens the door to high-performance, label-free solutions that meet today’s technical and regulatory demands.
