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-Glycidoxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane (CAS 2897-60-1), or GPDMS, is an epoxy- (glycidoxy-) functional organosilane. It is used as a surface modifier and adhesion promoter, coupling inorganic substrates to epoxy and other organic resin systems; its difunctional (two-ethoxy, one-methyl) structure limits crosslink density relative to trialkoxy silanes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 3-glycidoxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane (GPDMS) used for?
GPDMS is an epoxy- (glycidoxy-) functional organosilane used as a surface modifier and adhesion promoter, coupling inorganic substrates to epoxy and other organic resin systems. It is used as a coupling additive in adhesive manufacturing and to functionalize mineral and glass surfaces.
How does GPDMS differ from a trialkoxy glycidoxy silane like GPTMS?
GPDMS is difunctional, carrying two ethoxy groups and one methyl substituent rather than three alkoxy groups. That structure limits crosslink density relative to trialkoxy silanes such as GPTMS, which can be desirable where a less densely crosslinked, more flexible interface is wanted.
What is the CAS number and formula of GPDMS?
3-Glycidoxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane has CAS number 2897-60-1 and molecular formula C11H24O4Si. It belongs to the Silanes & Organosilanes family.
What is the cost of bulk GPDMS?
Pricing depends on volume, packaging, and current raw-material markets, so RawSource quotes per order rather than listing a fixed price. Submit a bulk RFQ with your target quantity (drums, totes, or IBCs) for a current quote and lead time.
What is the HS code for GPDMS?
GPDMS classifies under HS 2931.90 — organo-inorganic compounds, other. Verify the country-specific tariff suffix with your broker; RawSource supplies commercial and customs documentation on bulk shipments.
