General description

This 95% pure organofunctional silane is the industry standard for adhesion promotion. Its bifunctional nature (thiol/trimethoxysilyl) ensures robust chemical bonding at interfaces. The 5% impurity profile typically consists of harmless siloxane oligomers that do not compromise its performance in high-strength bonding or composite manufacturing.

Application

  • Coupling & Adhesion: Acts as a powerful "molecular bridge" to improve the adhesion between sulfur-vulcanized rubbers or organic polymers and inorganic substrates like silica or glass.
  • Filler Treatment: Used to treat mineral fillers (like silica) to improve their dispersion and reinforcement within polymer matrices.
  • Composite Enhancement: Integrated into epoxy or phenolic resins to increase mechanical strength and moisture resistance in industrial composites.

Questions

1–10 of 10 Questions  
  1. Can you indicate the vapor pressure of this product, e.g. at room temperature, 40°C, 80°C and/or 110°C? Any formula or other indication would also be appreciated

    1 answer
    1. The vapor pressure reported for this product is less than 7 hPa at 20 °C (68 °F). Vapor pressure data is not available for this material at 40 °C, 80 °C, and 110 °C. The vapor pressure can be estimated using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, which relates the vapor pressure of a liquid to its temperature. The formula is: ln(P₁/P₂) = -ΔHvap/R * (1/T₁ - 1/T₂) where P₁ and P₂ are pressures at different temperatures T₁ and T₂. The gas constant is R = 8.315 J⋅K−1⋅mol−1, and the heat of vaporization ΔHvap is approximately 41.645 ± 3.00 kJ/mol (according to Sci-Finder).

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  3. Is this the only composition of (3-mercapropyl) trimethoxysilane (MPTMS)? Or is it mixed with dispersion such as ethanol?

    1 answer
    1. This product is a neat or pure liquid that has not been diluted in a solvent. The material has a density of 1.057 g/mL and a minimum purity of 95%.

      Helpful?

  4. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  6. If I stored it in room temperature, I couldn't use it anymore?

    1 answer
    1. The recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C. This product is shipped at ambient temperature. We typically allow one to two weeks transit time before we expect degradation for products shipped in this manner. For extended periods or unsealed products, the end-user should examine the material for suitability.
