Methyltrimethoxysilane

Methyltrimethoxysilane

Abbreviated as MTMS (also known as trimethoxymethylsilane), it has the CAS number 1185-55-3, the molecular formula C₄H₁₂O₃Si (structural formula CH₃Si(OCH₃)₃), and a molecular weight of 136.22. It is a mono-organo-trialkoxysilane and a typical "trifunctional" silane coupling agent or crosslinking agent.

Key physicochemical properties

 

Appearance: Colorless, transparent, low-viscosity liquid; slight characteristic amine/ester odor
Boiling point: 102–104°C (760 mmHg)
Density: 0.950–0.955 g/cm³ (25°C)
Flash point: Approx. 11°C (closed cup) → Highly flammable liquid (GHS Category 2), UN 1993 PG II
Refractive index: n²⁰D ≈ 1.369–1.371
Solubility: Miscible with methanol, ethanol, acetone, benzene, DCM, etc.; hydrolyzes upon contact with water/moisture, releasing methanol and forming silanols (≡Si–OH), which subsequently condense into a Si–O–Si network
Hydrolysis rate: Faster than methyltriethoxysilane (MTES); catalyzed by both acids and bases-the rate increases as the pH moves further away from neutral (lower or higher pH)

Primary Uses

 

Cross-linking agent for dealcoholization-type RTV silicone rubber/sealants: One-component, moisture-curing; typical dosage of 0.5–4%; determines tack-free time and hardness.
Coupling treatment for glass fiber/fillers: Hydrophobizes the surfaces of glass fiber, quartz powder, calcium carbonate, and pigments; enhances composite strength and moisture resistance.
Sol-gel and hybrid coatings: Co-condensed via pre-hydrolysis with GLYMO, silicates, or nano-SiO₂ to produce coatings offering increased hardness, scratch resistance, and UV stability (e.g., for lenses and polycarbonate sheets).
Raw material for silicone resins/methyl silsesquioxane (MSQ): Used to produce transparent silicone resins and low-dielectric electronic materials.
Architectural protection: Waterproofing agents and stain-resistant impregnating agents for stone and exterior walls.

Safety, Storage, and Transportation

 

GHS: H225 Highly flammable; H315 Skin irritation; H318/H319 Eye damage; H335 Respiratory irritation; Hydrolysis releases methanol (toxic; avoid eye contact).
Handling: Use in a fume hood or explosion-proof room; take anti-static measures; no open flames; wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a respirator (vapor-rated).
Storage & Transport (Key: Moisture Protection): Keep original container sealed; blanket with nitrogen or dry air; store at ≤30°C; maintain low relative humidity; use promptly after opening or re-blanket with inert gas.
Incompatibilities: Water, moist air, strong acids (catalyze hydrolysis), strong oxidizing agents; for spills, use sand, soil, or dry adsorbents-do not flush with large amounts of water (reaction is exothermic and releases methanol).
Firefighting: CO₂, dry chemical, or dry sand; do not use water jets or direct streams of standard foam.
