Trichlorostearylsilane, also known as Trichloro(octadecyl)silane, n-Octadecyltrichlorosilane, Trichlorooctadecylsilane, or Octadecyltrichlorosilane, is a colorless to yellowish liquid with a pungent odor. It is produced by Ningbo Inno Pharmchem Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of specialty chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates.
Trichlorostearylsilane is widely used in various industries, including coatings, plastics, rubbers, and textiles, as a coupling agent, surface modifier, and water repellent. It can improve the adhesion, dispersion, and compatibility of different materials, as well as enhance the hydrophobicity and oleophobicity of surfaces.
To ensure the proper application and safety of Trichlorostearylsilane, the manufacturer has provided a guide that covers the following aspects:
1. Chemical Properties
Trichlorostearylsilane has a molecular formula of C18H37Cl3Si and a molecular weight of 391.94 g/mol. It has a boiling point of 326 °C and a flash point of 150 °C. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone, and chloroform, but insoluble in water.
2. Application
Trichlorostearylsilane can be used as a coupling agent in the production of filled and reinforced plastics, rubbers, and composites. It can react with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the fillers or reinforcements, forming covalent bonds that improve the interfacial adhesion and mechanical properties of the final products.
Trichlorostearylsilane can also be used as a surface modifier in the production of coatings, inks, and adhesives. It can reduce the surface tension and increase the spreadability of these products, resulting in a smoother and more uniform coating. It can also improve the wetting and adhesion of the coatings, inks, and adhesives to various substrates.
Trichlorostearylsilane can be used as a water repellent in the production of textiles, paper, and leather. It can form a hydrophobic and oleophobic layer on the surface of these materials, preventing the penetration of water, oil, and dirt. It can also improve the durability and washability of the water repellent treatment.
3. Safety
Trichlorostearylsilane is a hazardous substance that can cause skin and eye irritation, respiratory tract irritation, and central nervous system depression. It should be handled with care and protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and respirators should be worn. It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and flames.
Trichlorostearylsilane should not be ingested, inhaled, or allowed to come into contact with skin or eyes. In case of exposure, the affected area should be flushed with plenty of water and medical attention should be sought immediately.
Trichlorostearylsilane should not be mixed with strong oxidizing agents, acids, or bases, as it can react violently and release toxic fumes. It should not be disposed of in the environment or sewage system, as it can pollute the water and soil.
4. Conclusion
Trichlorostearylsilane is a versatile and effective specialty chemical that can enhance the performance and functionality of various materials and products. However, its application and safety should be carefully considered and followed, in order to achieve the desired results and avoid potential hazards.
