Silane USi-6121 – N-Dodecyltrimethoxysilane
Long-Chain Alkyl Silane for Maximum Hydrophobicity & Inorganic Surface Functionalization
CAS No.: 3069-21-4
EINECS No.: 221-332-4
Molecular Weight: 290.52 g/mol
Chemical Name:
N-Dodecyltrimethoxysilane
Synonyms:
1-(Trimethoxysilyl)dodecaneSilane USi-6121 is a high-purity long-chain alkyl functional organosilane featuring a hydrophobic C₁₂ (dodecyl) tail and three reactive methoxy groups. It forms dense, covalently bonded monolayers on inorganic surfaces—delivering exceptional water repellency, anti-fouling properties, and enhanced compatibility with non-polar polymers. Ideal for advanced waterproofing, optical glass protection, and outdoor heritage conservation.
🧪 Product Description
Chemical Formula: CH₃(CH₂)₁₁Si(OCH₃)₃
Chemical Structure:
![Structure: C₁₂H₂₅–Si(OCH₃)₃]USi-6121 combines strong surface anchoring (via trialkoxysilane) with extreme hydrophobicity (from the C₁₂ alkyl chain). Key advantages include:
- Superior water contact angles (>100°) on treated surfaces
- Dense molecular packing due to long alkyl chain → excellent moisture barrier
- Enhanced dispersion of mineral fillers in polyolefins, rubbers, and thermoplastics
- Chemical bonding to metal oxides (SiO₂, Al₂O₃, etc.) ensures durability against washing and weathering
Unlike short-chain analogs (e.g., methyl or octyl silanes), the C₁₂ chain provides optimal balance between hydrophobicity, steric stability, and synthetic feasibility.
📊 Typical Technical Data

Parameter Specification Appearance Colorless transparent liquid Specific Gravity (20°C) 0.885 – 0.895 g/cm³ Refractive Index (nD25) 1.4220 – 1.4320 Purity (GC, %) ≥ 96.0%
🏭 Key Applications
🔹 Ultra-Hydrophobic Treatment of Inorganic Materials
- Effectively modifies glass, silica, alumina, kaolin, talc, mica, SiC, porcelain, and ceramics
- Creates a water-repellent interface that improves filler-matrix adhesion in composites
- Reduces moisture absorption and enhances mechanical strength, electrical insulation, and long-term stability
🔹 Anti-Fog & Anti-Condensation Coatings for Glass
- Applied to:
- Blank and coated architectural glass (anti-reflective, reflective, vacuum-deposited)
- Optical lenses, precision instruments, and metal-framed devices
- Prevents fog formation by promoting water beading and rapid runoff
- Maintains optical clarity while providing durable protection
🔹 Conservation of Outdoor Historical Relics
- Protects stone monuments, sculptures, archaeological artifacts, and heritage buildings from:
- Water penetration and capillary rise
- Salt efflorescence and subflorescence
- Freeze-thaw spalling and biological colonization
- Vapor-permeable: allows trapped moisture to escape while blocking liquid water—preserving structural integrity
🔹 Filler & Pigment Surface Engineering
- Treats mineral fillers to improve:
- Dispersibility in non-polar matrices (PP, PE, EPDM)
- Rheology control and reduced sedimentation
- Impact resistance and surface finish in molded parts
📦 Packaging
Available in industrial-grade containers:
- 20 kg pail
