LS-M59 1H,1H,2H,2H-Nonafluorohexyltrimethoxysilane
CAS NO. 85877-79-8
Silfluo LS-M59 is (1,1,2,2-Tetrahydrononafluorohexyl)trimethoxysilane, a short-chain fluoroalkyl-functional trimethoxysilane.
The molecule contains a C₄F₉ perfluoroalkyl group and three hydrolyzable methoxy groups on silicon.
The trimethoxysilyl group hydrolyzes and condenses with hydroxylated inorganic surfaces including glass, silica, ceramics, and metal oxides.
The short-chain fluoroalkyl structure provides surface energy reduction while avoiding long-chain PFOA/PFOS-regulated structures; verify regulatory compliance per local requirements and formulation composition.
Used in anti-fingerprint, anti-smudge, easy-to-clean, and low-surface-energy coating formulations.
Performance equivalent to Dow B3958.
