Product Overview
3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane, 99% pure, is a versatile silane coupling agent widely used in laboratory settings for surface modification and adhesion promotion. This high-purity compound features an aminopropyl functional group and triethoxy silane moiety, enabling strong bonding between organic and inorganic substrates. The AcroSeal® packaging ensures long-term stability by minimizing moisture exposure, which is critical for maintaining the reagent’s reactivity. With a purity level of 99%, this product delivers consistent performance in silanization processes, making it ideal for preparing glass slides, silica surfaces, and other substrates requiring functionalization. The liquid form allows for easy handling and precise application, while its compatibility with various solvents expands its utility in different experimental protocols. Whether used in thin-film deposition or as a crosslinking agent, this silane provides reliable results for demanding research applications.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane when stored properly?
When stored in its original AcroSeal® packaging at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight, the product maintains its specified purity for at least 12 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Is this silane compatible with aqueous solutions?
While primarily soluble in organic solvents like ethanol or toluene, it can hydrolyze in water. For aqueous applications, pre-hydrolysis in a water-alcohol mixture is recommended to prevent rapid polymerization.
3. What alternatives exist for surface modification if this product is unavailable?
Alternatives include (3-Glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane for epoxy functionalization or (3-Mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane for thiol-based applications, though reactivity and bonding properties will differ.
4. How should I handle spills of this chemical?
Absorb spills immediately with inert material like sand or vermiculite, then neutralize with a weak acid solution (e.g., 5% acetic acid) before disposal according to local hazardous waste regulations.
5. Does this product require special storage conditions?
Store in a cool, dry place with the container tightly sealed. Avoid refrigeration unless specified in your protocol, as condensation can compromise the seal and introduce moisture.
