Description :

Overview of Methyl Silicate

Methyl Silicate is an important organosilicon compound widely used as a binder, crosslinking agent, and precursor for silica formation in coatings, foundry applications, construction chemicals, and speciality industrial formulations. It is commonly supplied as tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS) or as polymeric methyl silicate grades, depending on application requirements. Upon hydrolysis, Methyl Silicate forms silica networks that provide hardness, heat resistance, and durability.

In appearance, Methyl Silicate is typically a clear, colourless liquid with good miscibility in organic solvents. It reacts with moisture to form silica and methanol, making it highly effective in applications requiring inorganic bonding and surface strengthening. Due to its reactivity, it is handled in controlled industrial environments.
