Product Information

• Name: 1-Triethoxysilyl octane
• Synonyms: n-Octyltriethoxysilane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Triethoxysilyl octane is a triethoxysilane derivative that can be used as a coupling agent for silica particles. It has been shown to provide better water permeability and chemical stability than the traditional 1,2-diethoxysilane derivatives. The reaction mechanism of 1-triethoxysilyl octane is thought to involve the formation of an alkoxy group at the terminal carbon atom, which reacts with hydroxyl groups in solution to form a hydroxyalkoxy group. The analytical method for this compound is based on FTIR spectroscopy and involves the use of sodium citrate as a buffering agent. Studies have shown that 1-triethoxysilyl octane has toxic effects on living organisms when it enters the body through inhalation or ingestion.
