General Description

Chloromethyltrimethoxysilane (CMTMS) is a trialkoxysilane with chloromethyl as the organofunctional group having hydrophobic characteristics. Chloromethyl is the electron withdrawing group that improves the mechanical properties of the molecule. CMTMS is mainly utilized as a silane based precursor material for the preparation of surface enhancement based coatings and other silane based products.
