Vinyl silane, also called ethenyl silane, is an organic chemical with chemical formula C2H6Si or CH2=CH–SiH3. It is a derivative of silane.
Vinyl silane is used as a monomer for some copolymer plastics such as ethylene -vinylsilane and ethylene-vinyl acetate-vinylsilane. It is also used as a cross-linking agent during the manufacture of cross-linked polyethylene (PEX). The silane group is reactive, and in the presence of moisture, vinyl silane forms cross-links as the material cures. Moisture-curable polymers are used as electrical insulation in some kinds of cables.
