Hexamethyldisiloxane: Guide

Hexamethyldisiloxane is an important silicone primary raw material, often used as a capping agent for silicone silicone oil production, or used in silicone rubber, pharmaceuticals, gas chromatography fixative, analytical reagents, water-repellent agents and cleaning agents for medical electronic components. The Si-O-Si bond in the molecular chain structure of hexamethyldisiloxane has a high chemical bonding energy (460.5kJ/mol), and the polysiloxanes made from it as a capping agent have good thermal and chemical stability.

Hexamethyldisiloxane is colorless transparent liquid. It is easily deliquescent, flammable, and has the danger of burning when it meets high heat, open flame and strong oxidizer. Boiling point 99.5℃. Flash point -1.1℃. Relative density (d2525) 0.7606, refractive index 1.3750, insoluble in water, soluble in a variety of organic solvents.
