LS-M13 Dimethoxymethylphenylsilane
CAS NO. 3027-21-2
Silfluo LS-M13 is Dimethoxymethylphenylsilane, a bifunctional phenyl-functional dimethoxysilane.
The molecule contains one phenyl group, one methyl group, and two hydrolyzable methoxy groups on silicon.
The difunctional methoxy structure enables linear chain extension and controlled condensation without introducing trifunctional crosslinking sites.
The phenyl group raises refractive index and thermal stability; the methyl group contributes chain flexibility and hydrophobic character in derived siloxane structures.
Used as monomer and reactive intermediate for phenyl silicone fluid, optical resin, and PVMQ elastomer synthesis, and as hydrophobic surface modifier in high-temperature composite systems.
Performance equivalent to Dow Z-2588.
