Vinyl functional silane. The vinyl group grafts onto polyolefins in the presence of peroxide, which is the basis of silane crosslinked polyethylene (Sioplas and Monosil processes) for cable insulation and pipe. Also used to treat mineral fillers for peroxide-cured systems. Releases methanol on hydrolysis.
