Aminoalkyl-methoxysilyl-terminated dimethyl siloxane
- Silicones
- CAS 188627-10-3
- IUPAC: Dimethyl siloxane, (ethanediamino-2-methylpropyl)methoxymethylsilyl)oxy- and C13-15-alkoxy-terminated
Aminoalkyl-methoxysilyl-terminated dimethyl siloxane (CAS 188627-10-3) appears in 1 of the 2,122 car-care products CarCareTruth tracks (as of August 2026).
GHS classified Skin Irrit. 2 (H315) and Eye Irrit. 2 (H319) at the ingredient level per the published WetCoat SDS. The reactive methoxysilyl end groups release small amounts of methanol on hydrolysis, but at typical 5–7% concentrations in a finished spray-and-rinse product the mixture-level classification carries forward H319 only. Not a respiratory sensitizer (no H334), not a skin sensitizer (no H317).
This is the proprietary silane-functional polydimethylsiloxane that Gyeon uses as the bonding active in WetCoat (and likely related Q²M SiO₂ toppers). The molecule is a silicone-oil backbone capped with aminoalkyl-methoxysilyl groups at one end and C13–C15 alkoxy groups at the other. When sprayed onto a wet, clean surface, the methoxysilyl ends hydrolyze and condense with surface hydroxyls (paint clear coat, glass, ceramic-coated panels) to form a thin, hydrophobic siloxane film — the layer that produces the tight beading and "wet look" gloss buyers see immediately.
At the 5–7% concentration disclosed in the Gyeon WetCoat SDS, the ingredient drives the product-level eye-irritation classification (H319). The aminoalkyl group is mildly basic but the product is buffered to pH 7, so skin/eye irritation in normal spray-and-rinse use is limited to the brief contact window before rinse-off. No respiratory sensitizer classification, no aquatic toxicity classification, no Prop 65 listing.
