Silane USi-6101 – Methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS)
Non-Organoreactive Alkyl Alkoxysilane for Hydrophobicity, Crosslinking & Filler Treatment
CAS No.: 1185-55-3
EINECS No.: 214-685-0
Molecular Weight: 136.22 g/mol
Synonyms:
Trimethoxy(methyl)silane; MTMSSilane USi-6101 is a high-purity methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS)—a non-organoreactive alkyl alkoxysilane featuring one non-hydrolyzable methyl group and three reactive methoxy groups. It serves as a versatile crosslinker, coupling agent, and hydrophobizing agent in RTV silicones, composites, and surface treatments—delivering enhanced water resistance and mechanical performance.
🧪 Product Description
Chemical Formula: CH₃Si(OCH₃)₃
Chemical Structure:
![Structure: CH₃–Si(OCH₃)₃]Unlike amino or mercapto silanes, USi-6101 contains no organofunctional group that bonds to polymers—its methyl group is inert. However, its three methoxy groups readily hydrolyze to form silanols that:
- Condense into a hydrophobic silica-like network
- Bond covalently to inorganic surfaces (e.g., glass, silica, metals)
- Act as an efficient crosslinker in moisture-cure systems
The methyl group imparts hydrophobicity, flexibility, and reduced crosslink density, making it ideal for applications requiring water repellency without brittleness.

🏭 Key Applications
🔹 Crosslinking Agent for RTV Silicone Rubber
- Used in methoxy-cure RTV-1 silicone sealants and adhesives
- Reacts with atmospheric moisture to form a flexible, water-resistant Si–O–Si network
- Generates methanol during cure — suitable for non-corrosive applications
🔹 Coupling Agent for Inorganic Fillers
- Treats silica (SiO₂), glass fibers, and other mineral fillers
- Improves dispersion, moisture resistance, and mechanical reinforcement in composites
- Reduces filler agglomeration and viscosity in filled systems
🔹 Hydrophobization of Inorganic Surfaces
- Renders surfaces water-repellent without altering appearance
- Applied to glass, ceramics, concrete, and pigments
- Enhances durability in humid or wet environments
🔹 Pigment & Filler Surface Treatment
- Improves wettability and dispersion stability in coatings, inks, and plastics
- Prevents moisture-induced clumping during storage
🔹 Raw Material for Silicon Resins
- Serves as a monomer in the synthesis of methyl-silicon resins
- Contributes to thermal stability, water repellency, and electrical insulation
📦 Packaging
Available in industrial-grade containers:
- 20 kg pail
- 190 kg drum
- 950 kg IBC tote
All packaging is sealed to prevent moisture exposure and maintain product integrity.
⚠️ Safety & Storage
- Store in original unopened containers at or below 25°C
- Keep away from heat and open flame (product is flammable)
- Shelf Life: 24 months from production date under recommended conditions — longer than most alkoxysilanes due to stability
- Use in well-ventilated areas; hydrolysis releases methanol
- Consult the latest Safety Data Sheet (SDS) at www.usi-chemical.com or upon request
