Product Details

  • Silane USi-6222 – Diethoxydimethylsilane

    Ethoxy-Based Chain Control Agent for Enhanced Silicone Stability & Processing

    CAS No.: 78-62-6
    EINECS No.: 201-127-6
    Molecular Weight: 148.28 g/mol
    Chemical Name:
    Diethoxydimethylsilane

    Silane USi-6222 is a high-purity non-organoreactive alkoxysilane featuring two methyl groups and two ethoxy groups bonded to silicon. As the ethoxy analog of dimethyldimethoxysilane (USi-6221), it serves as a superior structural control agent, chain terminator, and hydroxyl scavenger in silicone rubber and fluid systems—offering slower reactivity, reduced odor, and improved compatibility with ethanol-based formulations. Essential for stabilizing compounded rubber and synthesizing high-performance silicone oils and resins.


    🧪 Product Description

    Chemical Formula: (CH₃)₂Si(OC₂H₅)₂
    Chemical Structure:
    ![Structure: (CH₃)₂–Si–(OC₂H₅)₂]

    USi-6222 delivers the same core functionality as USi-6221—but with ethoxy advantages:

    • The ethoxy groups hydrolyze more slowly than methoxy groups → enables better process controllonger pot life, and more uniform end-capping
    • Generates ethanol instead of methanol upon reaction—lower toxicity and milder odor, improving workplace safety
    • Enhances compatibility with ethanol-containing systems (e.g., certain coatings or release agents)
    • Effectively caps silanol (Si–OH) ends in PDMS chains and on fumed silica surfaces, preventing post-condensation and viscosity drift

    Like USi-6221, it is not a coupling agent—its value lies in internal stabilization of silicone matrices.

    🏭 Key Applications

    🔹 Structural Control Agent in High-Consistency Silicone Rubber (HCR)

    • Added during compounding to stabilize polymer chain architecture
    • Prevents uncontrolled crosslinking during storage → extends shelf life and maintains consistent hardness
    • Improves extrusion and molding behavior by reducing molecular weight fluctuations

    🔹 Chain Extender / Terminator in Silicone Synthesis

    • Controls molecular weight in silicone oilsresins, and phenyl-modified silicones
    • Produces polymers with predictable viscosity and enhanced thermal stability

    🔹 Hydroxyl Scavenger for Fumed Silica & Polymer Blends

    • Reacts with residual Si–OH groups on reinforcing fillers and in polymer backbones
    • Minimizes viscosity increasethixotropy changes, and post-cure hardening
    • Critical for maintaining transparency in optical-grade silicones

    🔹 Key Intermediate for Specialty Silicones

    • Used in the synthesis of silicone resinsphenyl silicone oils, and waterproofing agents
    • Serves as a crosslinking co-agent in certain RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing) silicone rubber systems

    📦 Packaging

    Available in industrial-grade containers:

    • 20 L pail
    • 200 L iron drum
    • 1000 L IBC tote

    All packaging is sealed to prevent moisture exposure, which could trigger premature hydrolysis.


    ⚠️ Safety & Storage

    • Store in original unopened containers at or below 25°C
    • Keep away from heat and open flame (flash point = 11.7°C — highly flammable)
    • Shelf Life12 months from production date under recommended conditions
    • Use only in well-ventilated areas; wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles)
    • Consult the latest Safety Data Sheet (SDS) at www.usi-chemical.com or upon request
