Tetra ethyl ortho silicate (TEOS) is a colorless, flammable, and toxic liquid with low viscosity and a pungent ethanol-like odor. It belongs to the alkoxy silane family with four ethoxy groups, dissolves in alcohols and common solvents, and hydrolyzes with moisture to form silica powder and ethanol. TEOS is a basic chemical widely used across pharmaceutical, petrochemical, oil and gas, foundry, and other industries

Tetra ethoxy silane or methyl silicate should be stored in the main container in a sealed state in a dry and humid environment at a temperature of 10-30 ° C to prevent evaporation and hydrolysis. In case of contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. See a doctor if swallowed. This substance is flammable and its vapors are toxic.
Tetra ethoxy silane can be stored in plastic or metal tanks. This material should be kept away from flame or spark sources. This product is offered in 20 and 200 kg plastic tanks. Due to the absorption of moisture, barley should be kept in the main containers as a seal.

This substance is a colorless liquid. It causes severe eye irritation, burning, dryness and inflammation of the skin, irritation of the digestive system, and its vapors cause respiratory irritation. It reacts strongly with acids, oxidizers, water, and bases.
Contact with eyes: Causes moderate to severe eye irritation.
Contact with skin: Causes dryness, cracking, and inflammation of the skin. This substance can also be absorbed through the skin.
Inhalation: Causes respiratory irritation, and prolonged exposure can lead to shortness of breath.

questions
Find clear answers to common questions about application, performance, and technical details so you can choose with confidence.
TEOS is mainly used in corrosion-resistant coatings, catalysts, silicone production, and synthesis of doped silica sol-gels and mesoporous silica layers.
TEOS is a colorless liquid with a melting point of -77°C and a boiling point of 165.5°C. It is slightly soluble in water and soluble in ethanol and ether.
It is used as an insulating material, optical glass processing agent, coagulant, binder for precise sand casting molds, anti-corrosion and waterproofing treatment for metals, and raw material for silicone oils.
