Silquest A-174NT silane can be easily dissolved in polyester resin containing mineral fillers where it will typically migrate to the filler surface and couple to help improve the overall composite strength properties. When formulated in polyester resins containing mineral fillers, it can help improve the wet electrical properties of thermoplastic materials such as crosslinked polyethylene and polyvinylchloride.

As a coupling agent, the use of Silquest A-174NT silane has also been shown to enhance the strength performance — both initially and after wet conditioning - of glass, silica, silicate and metal oxide filled polyester resin systems. In addition, when the composite is filled with fiberglass roving sized with a typical polyester-compatible formulation containing Silquest A-174NT silane, formulators have typically seen significant improvement in the composite strength of a material.
