CAS 16415-12-6: Hexadecyltrimethoxysilane
Description:Hexadecyltrimethoxysilane, with the CAS number 16415-12-6, is an organosilane compound characterized by its long hydrophobic alkyl chain and three methoxy groups attached to a silicon atom. This structure imparts unique properties, making it useful as a surface modifier and coupling agent. The long hexadecyl chain enhances hydrophobicity, allowing it to effectively reduce surface energy and improve water repellency when applied to various substrates, including glass, metals, and polymers. The trimethoxysilane functionality enables it to bond covalently to surfaces, promoting adhesion and stability. Hexadecyltrimethoxysilane is often utilized in coatings, sealants, and as a reagent in the synthesis of hybrid organic-inorganic materials. Additionally, it can serve as a precursor in the preparation of silica-based materials with tailored surface properties. Its applications extend to the fields of nanotechnology, materials science, and surface engineering, where it contributes to the development of advanced materials with specific functional characteristics. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
