Recently, with the continuous advancement of chemical technology, trimethylchlorosilane (IOTA M3/MCS), as an important organosilicon compound, has shown its unique value in many fields. With its colorless, transparent and volatile characteristics, this compound has become an important raw material for the production of key products such as capping agents, silazanes, and cephalosporin antibiotics.
The molecular formula of trimethylchlorosilane is (CH3)3SiCl, which is concise and clear. Its molecular weight is about 108.7 and its CAS number is 75-77-4. In terms of physical and chemical properties, this substance has a low flash point (below -18°C), relative density (0.85) and high vapor pressure (26.7kPa, 20°C). These characteristics require special attention to fire and explosion prevention measures during the storage and use of trimethylchlorosilane.
In production applications, trimethylchlorosilane is not only used to prepare organosilicon materials such as silicone rubber and silicone resin, but also plays an important role in drug synthesis as an active gene protector. In addition, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, trimethylchlorosilane has gradually emerged in the development of environmentally friendly products such as water repellents and waterproofing agents.
In terms of packaging and storage, trimethylchlorosilane is usually packaged in plastic barrels or international standard container tanks to ensure its safe transportation and storage. During storage, special attention should be paid to waterproofing, fire prevention, and heat prevention, and avoid mixing with oxidants, acids, and alkalis to avoid danger.
