CAS 69861-02-5: 2-Hydroxy-3-[3-[1,3,3,3-tetramethyl-1-[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]-1-disiloxanyl]propoxy]propyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate

3-(3-Methacryloxy-2-hydroxypropoxy)propylbis(trimethylsiloxy)methylsilane is a silicone hydrogel that has been used in the fabrication of contact lenses. This material has a high permeability and transmittance and can be used as a monomer for making silicone hydrogels. 3-(3-Methacryloxy-2-hydroxypropoxy)propylbis(trimethylsiloxy)methylsilane modulates the optical properties of hydrophilic silicone, which makes it a good candidate for use in contact lenses. 3-(3-Methacryloxy-2-hydroxypropoxy)propylbis(trimethylsiloxymethylsilane is also an antibiotic and has been shown to have affinity for staphylococcus at concentrations of 0.5%.
