Autoignition =Trimethylsilanol (TMS), also trimethylhydroxysilane, is an
organosilicon chemical compound with the formula (CH3)3SiOH, or C3H10OSi. It is an organic derivate ofsilane substituted with threemethyl s and onehydroxyl group. It is a volatile organic liquid with boiling point between 98.6-99 °C.TMS is used to apply
hydrophobic coating on silicate surfaces. It reacts with the silicon atoms of the substrate, coating the surface with a layer of methyl groups. A commercial example is Magic Sand.TMS is a common contaminant in
spacecraft atmospheres, where it is present due tooutgassing ofsilicone -based materials. [ [http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=9062&page=177 Trimethylsilanol] , Harold L. Kaplan, Martin E. Coleman, and John T. James "Spacecraft Maximum Allowable Concentrations for Selected Airborne Contaminants", Volume 1 (1994)] It is a potential end grouphydrolysis product ofpolydimethylsiloxane chains.TMS, together with other
silanol s, is also being investigated as anantimicrobial agent .
