Product Information

• Name: PHENYLTRICHLOROSILANE
• Brand: Gelest
• Description: Aromatic Silane - Conventional Surface BondingAliphatic, fluorinated aliphatic or substituted aromatic hydrocarbon substituents are the hydrophobic entities which enable silanes to induce surface hydrophobicity. The organic substitution of the silane must be non-polar. The hydrophobic effect of the organic substitution can be related to the free energy of transfer of hydrocarbon molecules from an aqueous phase to a homogeneous hydrocarbon phase. A successful hydrophobic coating must eliminate or mitigate hydrogen bonding and shield polar surfaces from interaction with water by creating a non-polar interphase. Although silane and silicone derived coatings are in general the most hydrophobic, they maintain a high degree of permeability to water vapor. This allows coatings to breathe and reduce deterioration at the coating interface associated with entrapped water. Since ions are not transported through non-polar silane and silicone coatings, they offer protection to composite structures ranging from pigmented coatings to rebar reinforced concrete. A selection guide for hydrophobic silanes can be found on pages 22-31 of the Hydrophobicity, Hydrophilicity and Silane Surface Modification brochure.Phenyltrichlorosilane; Trichlorophenylsilane; TrichlorosilylbenzeneViscosity: 1.08 cStΔHvap: 47.7 kJ/molDipole moment: 2.41 debyeSurface tension: 27.9 mN/mVapor pressure, 75 °C: 10 mmCritical temperature: 438 °CSpecific heat: 1.00 J/g/°CCoefficient of thermal expansion: 1.2 x 10-3Intermediate for high refractive index resinsImmobilizes pentacene films
