Methyltrimethoxysilane
Dynasylan MTMS - Description
Dynasylan MTMS, an alkyltrialkoxysilane, is an important component in sol-gel systems.
In some sol-gel applications Dynasylan MTMS is partially hydrolyzed to form a preproduct that can be further crosslinked using temperature.

More information about Dynasylan MTMS
Dynasylan MTMS is a colorless, low-viscosity liquid. Use requires acid- or alkali-catalysed hydrolysis. Dynasylan MTMS is regarded as trifunctional since all three alkoxy groups are able to participate in this reaction.
Additionally Dynasylan MTMS contains a methyl group that adds organic character to the products. Hydrolysis leads to silanol groups which, in a subsequent condensation reaction, form very stable siloxane bonds (-Si-O-Si-).
