Description

Trichloro(3-Methylbutyl)Silane CAS NO 18544-67-7 is a highly reactive organosilicon compound characterized by its chlorosilane functionality. This chemical serves as a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of specialty silicone polymers and surface-modifying agents. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the silicone, pharmaceutical, and advanced materials sectors seeking to introduce the isoamyl (3-methylbutyl) group into siloxane structures or onto material surfaces.

Application

• Silicone Intermediate: A key building block for synthesizing functionalized siloxane polymers and silicone fluids with specific organic side chains.
• Surface Modification Agent: Used to hydrophobize or create specific surface properties on inorganic materials like silica, glass, and metals.
• Coupling Agent: Acts as a molecular bridge to improve adhesion between organic polymers and inorganic fillers in composite materials.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Employed in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug delivery systems requiring silane chemistry.
• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Precursor: Serves as a silicon source for depositing thin films in semiconductor and optical coating applications.
• Research & Development: A valuable reagent for academic and industrial R&D in organometallic chemistry and new material development.

Quality Control

Our production of Trichloro(3-Methylbutyl)Silane adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure consistency and meet customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and moisture-sensitive nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent hydrolysis and oxidation. Recommended storage temperature: 2°C to 8°C (refrigerated).
