Methyltrichlorosilane for organosilicon manufacturing
Methyltrichlorosilane (MTCS) is a reactive organosilicon intermediate used to produce silicone resins, silane compounds and other silicon-based materials. Its three reactive chlorine atoms participate in hydrolysis and condensation reactions, forming the Si–O–Si structures used in organosilicon chemistry.
We supply Methyltrichlorosilane for industrial chemical production, with specifications covering purity and key impurities. At Shandong Xima Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd., we combine chemical sourcing with warehousing, logistics and export coordination to support industrial raw material purchasing.

Industrial applications
Methyltrichlorosilane is used as a starting material in several organosilicon production processes.
Silicone resins: Used to manufacture methyl-containing silicone resins.
Silane compounds: Used in the synthesis of methyltrimethoxysilane and methyltriethoxysilane.
Crosslinking agents: Used to produce organosilicon crosslinking materials.
Specialty coatings: Serves as an intermediate in the manufacture of silicone-based coatings.
Construction waterproofing materials: Used in the production of organosilicon waterproofing agents.
Other silicon-based materials: Used in the production of fumed silica and sodium methylsiliconate.
These applications make Methyltrichlorosilane a raw material for manufacturers working with silicone-based chemicals and related industrial materials.
Chemical properties and handling
Methyltrichlorosilane contains three reactive Si–Cl bonds. During hydrolysis, these bonds react with water, followed by condensation reactions that form Si–O–Si structures.
Because MTCS reacts readily with moisture, moisture protection is important during storage, handling and transportation.
Keep containers tightly sealed and protected from moisture.
Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area.
Keep away from ignition sources and incompatible materials.
Follow the applicable Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for handling and storage procedures.
Transportation information
Methyltrichlorosilane has the following dangerous goods transportation classification:
| Item | Classification |
|---|---|
| UN Number | UN 1250 |
| Primary Hazard Class | Class 3 – Flammable Liquid |
| Subsidiary Risk | Class 8 – Corrosive Substance |
| Packing Group | II |
Packaging and shipping arrangements must comply with applicable dangerous goods transportation requirements.
