N-Dodecyltrimethoxysilane Description
N-Dodecyltrimethoxysilane (CAS 3069-21-4) is a colorless, transparent liquid, known for its excellent reactivity with minerals when exposed to moisture. This monomeric alkylalkoxysilane deeply penetrates substrates, forming a durable protective surface around each microscopic particle, significantly enhancing weather resistance. It dissolves easily in organic solvents to create clear, stable solutions.
Product Applications
- Improves water resistance and bonding between inorganic fillers (e.g., glass, silica, kaolin, mica, talc powder) and organic materials (e.g., plastic, rubber, adhesives), enhancing mechanical properties.
- Protects blank and coated glass (including optical anti-reflective coatings, vacuum AR coatings, and reflective coatings).
- Shields optical components and precise equipment with metal frames or graduations.
- Protects outdoor historical relics from corrosion, freeze damage, and efflorescence.

N-Dodecyltrimethoxysilane: Guide
N-Dodecyltrimethoxysilane, an alkyltrialkoxysilane, is a trifunctional compound with all three alkoxy groups capable of hydrolysis. It is highly soluble in organic solvents, forming a clear, colorless, and stable solution.
Upon hydrolysis, silanol groups are produced, which, through condensation reactions, form strong siloxane bonds (-Si-O-Si-). As more silanol groups form, hydrolysis and condensation occur simultaneously. The rates of hydrolysis and condensation are influenced by factors such as pH, concentration, solvent, temperature, and the presence of catalysts.
