Dynasylan® MTMS is a colorless, low-viscosity liquid. Dynasylan® MTMS is regarded as trifunctional since all three alkoxy groups are able to hydrolyze. Additionally Dynasylan® MTMS contains a methyl group that adds organic character to the products. Hydrolysis leads to silanol groups which, in a subsequent condensation reaction, form very stable siloxane bonds (-Si-O-Si-). Condensation occurs parallel to hydrolysis once a certain amount of silanol groups have been formed. The absolute and relative rates of hydrolysis and condensation depend on a number of factors. The most important factors include pH, concentration, solvent, temperature and the catalyst. In some sol-gel applications Dynasylan® MTMS is partially hydrolyzed to form a preproduct that can be further crosslinked using temperature. It is used to obtain mar resistant coatings having a higher UV-stability than traditional organic coatings. This can be lead to more flame resistant materials than using traditional resins.
