CAS 18416-07-4: Dichlorodioctylsilane

Description:Dichlorodioctylsilane, with the CAS number 18416-07-4, is an organosilicon compound characterized by its structure, which features a silicon atom bonded to two octyl groups and two chlorine atoms. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is known for its hydrophobic properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a coupling agent in the formulation of silicone polymers and as a surface modifier for enhancing the compatibility of organic materials with inorganic substrates. Dichlorodioctylsilane is also utilized in the production of silicone-based materials, where it can improve thermal stability and mechanical properties. Due to the presence of chlorine atoms, it can participate in reactions typical of organosilicon compounds, such as hydrolysis, leading to the formation of silanol groups. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this substance, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes, and proper storage conditions should be maintained to prevent degradation.
