Product Overview
3-(Triethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (CAS 21142-29-0) is a bifunctional organosilane widely employed as a coupling agent in advanced composite systems. This specialty chemical features a reactive methacrylate group and a hydrolyzable triethoxysilyl moiety, enabling it to form robust covalent bonds between inorganic substrates—such as glass fibers or mineral fillers—and organic polymer matrices. Its dual reactivity makes it indispensable in high-performance applications requiring enhanced interfacial adhesion, durability, and long-term stability.

Industrial Applications
This silane coupling agent delivers significant performance improvements across multiple industrial sectors:
- In unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester composites, it markedly enhances the wet mechanical strength and electrical insulation properties of glass fiber-reinforced materials.
- In the wire and cable industry, when used to treat EPDM rubber compounds filled with clay and peroxide-cured, it reduces dielectric loss and improves specific inductive capacity.
- Copolymers synthesized from this monomer with vinyl acetate, acrylic acid, or methacrylic acid are key components in high-adhesion coatings, structural adhesives, and durable sealants—offering superior weatherability, chemical resistance, and substrate bonding.
Stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from moisture and ignition sources, 3-(Triethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate is typically supplied in 200 kg drums or customized packaging to meet global manufacturing standards.
