Trimethylsilanol is a typical organosilicon monomer characterized by its small structure, high reactivity, and ease of participation in condensation reactions. It plays a crucial role in the production of specialty silicone oils, silicone rubbers, and functional silicone materials. With a purity ≥95% and a colorless, transparent appearance, it is widely used for end-capping linear polysiloxanes, introducing hydroxyl groups to facilitate subsequent structural adjustments and cross-linking reactions.
This product has a density of 0.8144 g/cm³, is highly volatile, and has a flash point of only 4°C. Therefore, strict adherence to safety guidelines is required during production and use: store in sealed containers, keep upright, avoid light and heat sources, and ensure a well-ventilated operating environment. Trimethylsilanol corresponds to UN1993 and is classified as a Class II hazardous material. Our company provides sturdy 1kg metal solvent containers to ensure safe transportation and storage.
In applications, trimethylsilanol is commonly used for end-group regulation and structural control of silicone oils, helping to improve the flexibility, heat resistance, and further functionalization capabilities of polysiloxane systems. It is an important tool molecule in the synthesis of refined silicon materials. With the continued growth in demand for organosilicon materials, the technological value and market demand for trimethylsilanol will further increase.
