At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we are committed to advancing material science through innovative chemical solutions. Trimethoxy(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)silane (CAS: 429-60-7) is a prime example of a chemical precursor enabling the creation of cutting-edge materials, particularly hydrophobic silica aerogels.

Silica aerogels are a class of ultralight, porous solids known for their exceptional thermal insulation and low density. However, pristine silica aerogels are inherently hydrophilic, meaning they readily absorb water, which can degrade their properties. To overcome this limitation, surface modification is employed, and trimethoxy(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)silane is a key agent in creating highly hydrophobic silica aerogels. The silane's trimethoxy groups react with the silanol groups on the surface of the silica gel during a supercritical drying process, while the trifluoropropyl group provides the desired water-repellent character.

These hydrophobic silica aerogels find critical applications in various fields. Their excellent insulating properties make them ideal for high-performance thermal insulation in aerospace, construction, and specialized apparel. Furthermore, their capacity for selective adsorption and water repellency makes them suitable for advanced separation technologies, such as removing oil contaminants from water or acting as hydrophobic membranes. The precision offered by using trimethoxy(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)silane ensures a uniform and effective hydrophobic surface modification.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is a reliable source for manufacturers seeking to purchase this specialized silane. Understanding the price and ensuring the purity of trimethoxy(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)silane are paramount for achieving consistent and superior aerogel properties. Partnering with us provides access to high-quality chemical intermediates that drive technological advancements.
