Request SDS →Bis[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl] disulfide (CAS 56706-10-6) is a sulfur-functional organosilicon compound. It is used as an adhesion/cohesion promoter, intermediate, processing aid, and chemical reaction regulator. Its triethoxysilyl groups react with silica surfaces while the disulfide bridge links to the polymer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "bis" mean in the name of this silane?
In chemical nomenclature "bis" means two of the named group. Here it indicates two 3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl groups joined by a disulfide bridge, giving the structure of CAS 56706-10-6 (C18H42O6S2Si2).
What is bis-[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl] disulfide (Si-75, TESPD) used for?
It is a sulfur-functional organosilicon coupling agent. The triethoxysilyl groups react with silica surfaces while the disulfide bridge links to the polymer, making it an adhesion/cohesion promoter, processing aid, and reaction regulator that bonds silica filler to rubber and polymer matrices.
How does TESPD (Si-75) differ from the tetrasulfide (Si-69, TESPT)?
Both are triethoxysilylpropyl silica coupling agents; the difference is the sulfur bridge. Si-75 is the disulfide (two sulfur atoms, CAS 56706-10-6) while Si-69 is the tetrasulfide (four sulfur atoms, CAS 40372-72-3). The lower sulfur rank affects scorch behavior and crosslink contribution in rubber compounding.
What is the CAS number and HS code for this coupling agent?
Bis[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl] disulfide is CAS 56706-10-6, molecular formula C18H42O6S2Si2. It classifies under HS 2931.90 (organo-inorganic compounds, other); we confirm the destination-specific code on the quote.
How is this silane supplied in bulk and can you provide a CoA and SDS?
We supply TESPD/Si-75 in bulk industrial packaging for rubber and polymer compounders, with packaging and MOQ confirmed per order. A Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheet are available with each shipment; request a bulk quote with your target volume.
