Description

(Cyclohexylmethyl)Trichlorosilane is a highly reactive organosilicon compound primarily used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of specialty silanes and silicone polymers. Its value lies in its ability to introduce the cyclohexylmethyl functional group, which imparts unique hydrophobic and chemical resistance properties to the final materials. This chemical is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors, particularly for creating surface modifiers, coupling agents, and hydrophobic coatings.

Application

• Silane Coupling Agent Precursor: Used to synthesize coupling agents for improving adhesion between organic polymers and inorganic surfaces like glass, metals, and minerals.
• Hydrophobic Surface Treatment: Serves as a key intermediate for manufacturing coatings that impart water and stain resistance to textiles, construction materials, and electronic components.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Employed in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules that require the cyclohexylmethyl moiety.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as a building block for creating pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides with enhanced stability and efficacy.
• Specialty Silicone Production: A monomer for producing modified silicone oils, resins, and elastomers with tailored properties for high-performance applications.
• Crosslinking Agent: Utilized in the formulation of silicone-based sealants, adhesives, and resins to control cure rates and final network properties.

Quality Control

Our (Cyclohexylmethyl)Trichlorosilane is produced under stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Due to its highly volatile and hygroscopic nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
