Tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) . Synonym: Tetramethyl Orthosilicate Countertype of Evonik DYNASIL M, Catylen D1100, ShinEtsu KBM-04 |
Chemical Structure |
Introduction |
Silicon esters are silicon compounds that contain an oxygen bridge from silicon to an organic group, for example, Si-OR. SiSiB® PC5410, the methyl ester of orthosilicic acid, is a colorless, low-viscosity liquid. It is industrially the most important of the tetraalkyl silicates.

Applications |
SiSiB® PC5410 can be used as an inorganic binder for refractory fillers and pigments, like precision investment castings.
SiSiB® PC5410 can be used as a second backup casting coating. It cures faster than colloidal silica system.
SiSiB® PC5410 can be hydrolyzed to form silicon dioxide (silica). SiSiB® PC5410 can be used as a binder in zinc-rich (corrosion resistant) coating. SiSiB® PC5410 can be used as a starting material for sol-gel process. SiSiB® PC5410 can be used as a crosslinking agent for silicone sealant. SiSiB® PC5410 can be used as a drying agent in sealing compositions. SiSiB® PC5410 can be used as a chemical intermediate. Compared to ethyl silicate, SiSiB® PC5411 has a higher silica concentration which brings cost advantages, but methyl alcohol is generated in the usage environment, so measures are necessary to counteract this. |
