Dimethyldimethoxysilane Description
Dimethyldimethoxysilane (DMDMS), also known as Dimethoxydimethylsilane, is a monomeric alkoxy silane with two methyl groups. It hydrolyzes rapidly to form highly reactive silanols and is an equivalent to Dow Corning Z-6194 or ShinEtsu KBM-22.
This silane is used as a resin modifier or additive in silicone resins, a structure control agent and chain extender in silicone rubbers to enhance mechanical properties and shelf life, a surface modifier for silica, inorganic fillers, pigments, and glass, and a key component in polyurethane crosslinked silica aerogels.
