Silane Required for Surface Coverage - Hydrolytic Deposition Creating a Minimum Uniform Coverage

The majority of surface modifications are affected by the hydrolytic deposition of trialkoxysilanes. Specific Wetting Surface (SWS) is a value determined empirically for the amount of silane required to obtain a minimum uniform multilayer coverage of a substrate. This calculator uses SWS numbers for different silanes to tell you the suggested amount of silane to use on a substrate.
