SILANETRIOL- ▸ Coupling agent: Bonds inorganic fillers and substrates to organic polymer matrices.
- ▸ Adhesion promoter: Improves resin adhesion to glass, silica, and metal surfaces.
- ▸ Waterborne systems: Pre-hydrolyzed silanetriol for aqueous formulations.
A grade-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) — with the complete hazard classification, handling precautions, and transport information — is supplied with every shipment and available on request. Confirm all safety and regulatory details against the SDS for your specific grade.
Request SDS →(3-Aminopropyl)silanetriol (CAS 58160-99-9) is the water-soluble triol form of an aminopropyl-functional silane. Aminofunctional silanes of this class act as coupling agents and adhesion promoters, bonding inorganic substrates such as glass, mineral fillers, and metals to organic resins. Its aqueous solubility suits waterborne formulations where alkoxysilanes would otherwise require pre-hydrolysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is (3-aminopropyl)silanetriol used for?
(3-Aminopropyl)silanetriol (CAS 58160-99-9, C3H11NO3Si) is the water-soluble triol form of an aminopropyl-functional silane. It acts as a coupling agent and adhesion promoter, bonding inorganic substrates such as glass, mineral fillers, and metals to organic resins. RawSource supplies it in bulk to waterborne-formulation manufacturers.
Why use the silanetriol instead of an alkoxysilane like APTES?
Because (3-aminopropyl)silanetriol is already in the hydrolyzed, water-soluble triol form, it suits waterborne formulations directly, whereas alkoxysilanes such as APTES or APTMS would otherwise require pre-hydrolysis. This makes it convenient where aqueous compatibility and no alcohol by-product are desired.
Is (3-aminopropyl)silanetriol water soluble?
Yes. Its three silanol (Si-OH) groups make it water-soluble, which is the key distinction from alkoxy aminosilanes. It is typically supplied as an aqueous solution for direct use in waterborne systems.
What CAS number and HS code apply to (3-aminopropyl)silanetriol?
The CAS number is 58160-99-9. It classifies under HS 2931.90 (organo-inorganic compounds, other). It is commonly supplied as an aqueous solution; confirm active content and the destination tariff line when ordering.
How is bulk (3-aminopropyl)silanetriol supplied and quoted?
RawSource supplies it in bulk, typically as an aqueous solution in drums, totes, and IBCs. Pricing depends on volume and active concentration, so request a bulk quote with your target quantity and active-content requirement; CoA and SDS accompany each shipment.
