Silane Crosslinker (Proprietary, Secondary)
- Ceramic (SiO₂)
- CAS proprietary
- IUPAC: Silane crosslinker (proprietary, CAS undisclosed)
Silane Crosslinker (Proprietary, Secondary) (CAS proprietary) appears in 1 of the 1,812 car-care products CarCareTruth tracks (as of June 2026).
Carries H227 (Flam. Liq. Cat 4), H302 (Acute Tox. 4 oral), H314 (Skin Corr. 1B), and H317 (Skin Sensitizer Cat 1) at ingredient level per SDS §3. H317 transfers to mixture-level SDS §2; H227, H302, and H314 are ingredient-level only and do not appear in SDS §2 mixture classification.
This ingredient is a secondary proprietary silane crosslinker (CAS not publicly disclosed) present at 1–10% in Gtechniq EXO V4. At this concentration range it functions as a minor crosslinking contributor and adhesion promoter in the polysilazane network.
The H317 (Skin Sensitizer Cat 1) classification at ingredient level is the most consequential health classification for this component — it transfers to the mixture-level SDS §2 and drives the skin: recommended PPE tier for the product. H314 (Skin Corrosion Cat 1B) at ingredient level does NOT appear in SDS §2 mixture classification, meaning the mixture-level formulation is not classified as corrosive even though this component carries that code at ingredient concentration. CAS number is not publicly disclosed by Gtechniq; classification data is derived from SDS §3 hazard codes.
