Description

Silane, (6-Bromohexyl)Trimethoxy- is a bifunctional organosilicon compound featuring a reactive bromoalkyl group and hydrolyzable trimethoxysilane termini. This dual functionality makes it a versatile coupling agent and molecular building block, enabling the covalent attachment of organic moieties to inorganic surfaces or polymer matrices. It is primarily used by R&D chemists and process engineers in the advanced materials, surface modification, and specialty polymer sectors to create tailored interfaces with specific properties.

Application

• Surface Modification Agent: Used to functionalize glass, silica, metals, and other oxide surfaces, introducing a reactive bromine handle for further chemical grafting.
• Polymer Crosslinking & Modification: Acts as a crosslinker or functional comonomer in silicone and other polymer systems to introduce bromine functionality for subsequent reactions (e.g., nucleophilic substitution).
• Synthesis of Functional Silanes: Serves as a key intermediate for synthesizing more complex silane coupling agents with extended alkyl chains or other terminal functional groups.
• Adhesion Promotion: Enhances the adhesion between organic polymers (like epoxies, polyurethanes) and inorganic substrates in coatings, adhesives, and composite materials.
• Chromatography Media: Utilized in the preparation of functionalized stationary phases for HPLC and other chromatographic techniques.
• Nanomaterial Functionalization: Applied to modify nanoparticles (e.g., silica, quantum dots) to improve dispersion in organic solvents or polymers and enable bioconjugation.

Quality Control

Our production of (6-Bromohexyl)Trimethoxysilane adheres to stringent internal quality standards to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including GC, NMR, and titration to confirm identity, purity, and functional group integrity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications is provided with every shipment. We operate under a cGMP-compliant quality management system to meet the demanding requirements of research and industrial-scale applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) nature, containers should be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent hydrolysis. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
