MS0825 – OctaIsobutyl POSS

Description

MS0825 is a hybrid molecule with an inorganic silsesquioxane at the core and organic isobutyl groups attached at the corners of the cage. MS0825 can be used as a processing aid in plastics to improve flow. It has also been used to improve printability and modify surface energy of thermoplastics.
