(3-Glycidoxypropyl)trimethoxysilane is used in the production of carbon steel and its pre treatment favors the dry and wet adhesion of epoxy coating. It is also used to prepare epoxy-functionalized silica nanoparticles, which gives a reactive surface for one-step and high-density protein immobilization. It serves as a coupling agent and adhesion promoter.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
