Ureidopropyltriethoxysilane
What is Ureidopropyltriethoxysilane?
Ureidopropyltriethoxysilane (CAS 23779-32-0), also known commercially as 3-Ureidopropyltriethoxysilane, is an organosilane coupling agent that bridges inorganic substrates and organic polymer matrices.
Where is Ureidopropyltriethoxysilane used?
- Glass fiber-reinforced composites and filled plastics: bonds mineral fillers
- Polyamide, epoxy and polyurethane matrices: improves mechanical retention under humid conditions
- Adhesives and sealants: primer or additive for substrate adhesion
- Electronics encapsulants and underfill resins: promotes interfacial adhesion between inorganic substrates and polar thermoset systems
- Automotive coatings and structural bonding: improves wet adhesion on treated metal and composite surfaces
- It improves adhesion at interfaces where standard silanes underperform, particularly with polar resins and moisture-exposed systems.
Good to know: Effective on glass, metal and concrete surfaces where long-term durability is required. Handle according to standard chemical safety and storage protocols.
Commercial specifications
- Purity typically 95% or higher
- Packaging from small drums to bulk quantities
