| Empirical formula: C7H18O3Si CAS No.: 2031-67-6 Product description: WACKER® SILANE M1-TRIETHOXY is a clear, colorless liquid with an odor characteristic of alcohols. Properties: The use of WACKER® SILANE M1-TRIETHOXY to render fillers water repellent considerably improves their dispersibility and reduces their sedimentation tendency. Mineral-filled plastics can thus be processed more easily. Additionally, resistance to moisture and chemicals is much increased. WACKER® SILANE M1- TRIETHOXY can be used as a constituent of silica gels, silicone resins and silicone rubber. In such compounds, the degree of curing and hence mechanical properties, such as elongation at break, modulus of elasticity and a coating's flexibility, can be controlled precisely by varying the amount of WACKER® SILANE M1-TRIETHOXY used. Special features: WACKER® SILANE M1-TRIETHOXY is an alkylalkoxysilane. The silane hydrolyzes slowly in the presence of moisture (ethanol is released) to form reactive silanols. These react further to produce oligosiloxanes and then polysiloxanes. Application: WACKER® SILANE M1-TRIETHOXY is used mainly to render a wide range of surfaces and materials water repellent (e.g. mineral fillers, pigments, glass, cardboard). WACKER® SILANE M1-TRIETHOXY is also used in the production of silicone resins and condensation-curing silicone rubber. In a further application, aqueous sol-gel coating systems are used to produce organic-inorganic hybrids. Information provided by Wacker Chemie AG. |
