Monomethyltrichlorosilane has the following main applications in the construction industry:


1. Preparation of silicone sealant: Monomethyltrichlorosilane is one of the important raw materials for the preparation of silicone sealant. Silicone sealant has excellent weather resistance, high and low temperature resistance and good elasticity, and can maintain stable sealing performance under different climatic conditions. In the installation of building doors and windows, silicone sealant is used to fill the gap between the door and window frames and the wall to prevent air infiltration, rainwater leakage and noise transmission, and improve the energy saving effect and living comfort of the building; in curtain wall projects, silicone sealant is used to connect curtain wall panels to ensure the overall sealing and safety of the curtain wall, while also playing a role in aesthetics.

2. Production of building waterproofing agent: The silicone waterproofing agent obtained by hydrolysis and polymerization of monomethyltrichlorosilane can be used for waterproofing of buildings. It can penetrate into the pores of building materials (such as masonry, concrete, etc.) to form a hydrophobic protective film to prevent the intrusion of moisture, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the building's exterior walls, roofs, basements and other parts, preventing structural damage and mold caused by moisture infiltration, and extending the service life of the building.

3. Modification of architectural coatings: Adding silicone resin or silicone additives prepared from monomethyltrichlorosilane to architectural coatings can improve the performance of coatings. Silicone-modified coatings have better weather resistance, stain resistance and corrosion resistance, which can keep the surface of buildings clean and beautiful for a long time, and reduce the maintenance and re-coating of coatings. For example, in the exterior wall coatings of some high-end buildings, silicone-modified coatings can effectively resist the erosion of natural factors such as ultraviolet rays and acid rain.

4. Preparation of architectural adhesives: Silicone adhesives based on monomethyltrichlorosilane have good bonding properties for a variety of building materials (such as glass, ceramics, metals, concrete, etc.). In some architectural decoration projects, such as the installation of glass curtain walls and the pasting of stone materials, silicone adhesives can ensure a firm connection between materials, while also adapting to certain displacements and deformations, and improving the stability and safety of the structure.
