Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane : Guide
Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, abbreviated as D4, is the basic raw material of silicone oil (modified silicone oil), silicone emulsion, silicone rubber, silicone resin and other silicone products, but also can be directly used as a rubber filler treatment agent and cosmetic raw materials.
D4 is mainly used as a raw material for silicone, also used in the electronics industry for the manufacture of high tear-resistant silicone rubber products, also used in the synthesis of other polymer compounds octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane can be used as an intermediate in the preparation of silicone oils, but also used in the radio parts of the insulation, moisture and so on.
Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane miscible in organic solvents, soluble in carbon tetrachloride, almost insoluble in water. Melting point 17-18℃. Boiling point 175-176℃/760mmHg. density ρ(20)0.956-0.959g/mL. refractive index n20/D1.395-1.398. flash point 131℉/55℃.
