Wacker Chemie Silane CHM-Dimethoxy

Wacker Chemie Silane CHM-Dimethoxy is a colorless, clear liquid with a weak, characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in water. This silane is used as a component of a Ziegler-Natta olefin polymerization catalyst system. It offers several performance advantages, including increased polymer yield per unit weight of catalyst, enhanced isotactic content of polypropylene-based polymers, and improved molecular weight dispersity of the polymer.
