use this product is an intermediate of silicone oil and silicone rubber.
Use as a raw material for silicone, and also used in the electronics industry
Uses are used to manufacture high-tear-resistant silicone rubber products, and also used to synthesize other polymer compounds
Uses Used as an intermediate for preparing silicone oil, and also used for insulation and moisture resistance of radio parts
production method: dimethyldichlorosilane is added into water dropwise, the temperature is maintained at 30-40 ℃, stratified, acid water is removed, oil is hydrolyzed with sodium hydroxide solution, hydrolysate and 0.5%-2% potassium hydroxide are added into the cracking kettle, and cracking is carried out at 120-140 ℃ and 99.8kPa vacuum. The lysate is fractionated and the fraction at 173-176 degrees C is collected to obtain octamethylcyclosilane.
