Description

Silane, (2-Bicyclo[2.2.1]Hept-5-En-2-Ylethyl)Triethoxy- is a specialized organosilicon compound featuring a reactive norbornene (bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene) moiety and hydrolyzable triethoxy groups. This unique structure makes it a highly effective coupling agent and reactive intermediate for advanced material synthesis. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the polymer, composite, and specialty coatings industries seeking to enhance adhesion, cross-linking, and surface modification properties.

Application

• Coupling Agent for Polymer Composites: Improves the interfacial adhesion between inorganic fillers (e.g., silica, glass fibers) and organic polymer matrices, enhancing mechanical strength and durability.
• Surface Modification Agent: Used to functionalize metal oxides, nanoparticles, and other surfaces with norbornene groups for subsequent polymer grafting or click chemistry reactions.
• Cross-linking Monomer: Serves as a reactive site in ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and other polymerization techniques to create cross-linked networks with tailored properties.
• Adhesion Promoter in Coatings: Incorporated into primers and adhesive formulations to promote bonding on difficult substrates like metals and treated plastics.
• Silicone Modification: Used to introduce norbornene functionality into silicone polymers, enabling the creation of hybrid materials with unique thermal and mechanical profiles.
• Intermediate for Specialty Chemicals: Acts as a key building block in the synthesis of more complex silane derivatives and functional materials for research and development.

Quality Control

Our Silane, (2-Bicyclo[2.2.1]Hept-5-En-2-Ylethyl)Triethoxy- is manufactured under strict quality protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and R&D processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent hydrolysis and maintain product integrity.
