S08575 - Dodecyltrimethoxysilane(1-trimethoxysilyldodecane)

N-dodecyltrimethoxysilane is a cationic surfactant that is used as a transport agent, particularly in the textile industry. It has been shown to be effective in reducing the surface tension of water and increasing the wetting properties of hydrophobic surfaces. N-dodecyltrimethoxysilane has also been shown to be an effective catalyst for the synthesis of zirconium oxide and other metal oxides. In addition, it can be used as a stabilizer for magnetic particles by binding to boron nitride or silica gel. The chemical stability of this compound enables it to form a polymeric matrix with hydroxyl groups, which is beneficial for use in coatings and adhesives.
