LS-533 Tridecafluorooctyl) Trichlorosilane
Silfluo LS-533 is [2-(Perfluorohexyl)ethyl]trichlorosilane, a fluoroalkyl-functional trichlorosilane.
The molecule contains a C6 perfluorinated chain and three hydrolyzable chloro groups on silicon.
The trichlorosilyl group reacts rapidly with hydroxylated inorganic surfaces including glass, silicon, silica, and metal oxides, releasing HCl upon hydrolysis.
The perfluorinated C₆ chain reduces surface energy and provides water- and oil-repellent character on treated surfaces.
Used in self-assembled monolayer (SAM) deposition, microfluidic device surface treatment, mold release layers for soft lithography and nanoimprint lithography, and anti-fouling coating research.
