What it does

Methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) — a monofunctional alkyl silane that hydrolyses to a hydrophobic methyl-silsesquioxane network on mineral surfaces. The reference grade for rendering silica, glass, mineral fillers, concrete and natural stone water-repellent without forming a continuous film.

Typical applications

  • Hydrophobic surface treatment of precipitated and fumed silica
  • Mineral filler modification (calcium carbonate, talc, kaolin) for plastics and rubber
  • Façade, concrete and natural-stone water-repellent impregnation
  • Co-binder in silicate paints and mineral coatings
  • Crosslinker in moisture-cure silicone systems

Serica execution notes

  • Hermetic drum integrity verified pre-shipment — moisture ingress is the single failure mode for this grade.
  • ADR Class 3 declaration and segregation handled on the Europe-side leg.
  • DDP to gate · single technical contact across the four silane families.

Pricing, MOQs, lead-times and producer identities are quoted per buyer.
