Description

Cyclohexylsilane is a highly volatile organosilicon compound characterized by a cyclohexyl group bonded to a silane moiety. This unique structure makes it a valuable precursor and intermediate in advanced material synthesis, particularly for introducing silicon-containing functional groups. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and specialty polymer industries seeking to develop novel silicon-based materials and coatings.

Application

• Semiconductor Manufacturing: Key precursor for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes to create silicon-containing thin films and dielectric layers.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a building block in the synthesis of organosilicon-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs.
• Surface Modification & Coatings: Used to functionalize surfaces (e.g., glass, metals) with hydrophobic or specific reactive groups for advanced coatings.
• Polymer & Silicone Chemistry: Acts as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the production of specialty silicones and hybrid organic-inorganic polymers.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new silicon chemistry, catalysis, and material science applications.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulations: Imparts specific properties like improved adhesion or moisture resistance in high-performance formulations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place, ideally at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C. The container should be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent moisture ingress and degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and oxidizing agents.
