Organosilane refers to an organic compound containing silicon and carbon elements. In its molecular structure, silicon atoms are often used as the main chain or branched chain, and are connected to carbon atoms through covalent bonds.

The general formula of organosilane is generally RnSiX(4-n), where R represents an organic group, X represents a substituent, and n represents the coordination number. It is widely used in many fields, including chemical industry, medicine, electronics, material science and so on. Today we mainly discuss what are its eight major functions in the industrial field?

Lubricants: Organosilanes are widely used as lubricants with excellent anti-wear properties and high temperature resistance. They can be used in lubricating oils, greases, automotive engine oils, and more.

Sealants: Organosilanes can act as sealants, filling and sealing tiny pores and cracks in the surface of materials. They have good adhesion and high temperature resistance and are commonly used in sealing applications in construction, aerospace and automotive manufacturing.

Water Repellents: Due to the hydrophobic nature of organosilanes, they can be used as water repellents for the protection and waterproofing of materials such as cement, bricks, and concrete.

Anti-sticking agents: Organosilanes can be used as anti-sticking agents, preventing substances from sticking and sticking when in contact with surfaces. This is especially useful in the plastics processing, printing and packaging industries.

Coating additives: Organosilanes are widely used as coating additives to improve the water resistance, stain resistance and weather resistance of coatings. They provide good adhesion and wetting.

Surface treatment agents: Organosilanes can be used in surface treatment agents to improve the performance and characteristics of the surface of materials. They can enhance the surface’s abrasion resistance, antistatic properties, UV resistance, etc.

Dispersants: Organosilanes can be used as dispersants to disperse solid particles in liquids and prevent particles from settling and aggregating. This is common in the pigment, colloid and coating industries.

Catalysts: Organosilanes can be used as catalysts to facilitate chemical reactions. They play an important role in organic synthesis and polymerization reactions.
