Properties:

Hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) is a volatile, colorless liquid with a mild odor. It is highly hydrophobic, chemically inert, and thermally stable. It is soluble in organic solvents (e.g., alcohols, ethers, hydrocarbons) but immiscible with water.

Applications:

  • Silicone intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of silicone oils, resins, and rubbers.
  • Water repellent: Used in coatings, textiles, and surface treatments for moisture resistance.
  • Electronics: Acts as a cleaning agent, dielectric fluid, or protective layer in semiconductor manufacturing.
  • Cosmetics & Pharmaceuticals: Functions as an emollient or carrier in personal care products.
  • Industrial processes: Employed as a defoamer, lubricant, or heat transfer fluid.

Package & Storage:

  • Packaging: 200L steel drum / customized packaging.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and oxidizers. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
