| Chemical Properties | Dodecyltrichlorosilane is an organosilicon compound characterized by a trichlorosilyl group attached to a dodecyl (lauryl) chain. It is reactive towards nucleophiles, particularly hydroxyl groups, and is moisture-sensitive, releasing HCl upon hydrolysis. |
| Applications | Used as a coupling agent and surface modifier in the production of silicone-based polymers, paints, coatings, and adhesives. It also finds application in the modification of surfaces, such as glass, metals, and plastics, to enhance their wettability, adhesion, and durability. |
| Storage Conditions | Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and incompatible materials. Keep the container tightly closed and protected from light. Store under argon or nitrogen to prevent moisture contamination. |
| Safety Precautions | Dodecyltrichlorosilane is toxic, corrosive, and irritant to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Handle with caution and wear appropriate protective clothing, gloves, and eye/face protection. In case of exposure, immediately wash skin and eyes with plenty of water and seek medical attention. Store in accordance with local regulations for hazardous chemicals. |
