LS-E12 Diphenyldiethoxysilane
CAS NO. 2553-19-7
Silfluo LS-E12 is Diphenyldiethoxysilane, a bifunctional phenyl-functional diethoxysilane.
The molecule contains two phenyl groups and two hydrolyzable ethoxy groups on silicon.
The difunctional ethoxy structure enables linear chain extension and controlled condensation without crosslinking, distinguishing it from trifunctional phenyltriethoxysilane (LS-E11).
Used as reactive intermediate in phenyl silicone polymer synthesis, as external electron donor (selectivity control agent) in Ziegler-Natta polyolefin catalysis, and in high-RI optical encapsulant and electrolyte additive applications.
Performance equivalent to Shin-Etsu KBE-202 and Dow 1-6533.
