Dimethyldichlorosilane Description
Dichlorodimethylsilane (DMDCS) (CAS 75-78-5) is a tetrahedral organosilicon compound with the chemical formula Si(CH3)2Cl2. At room temperature, it is a colorless, transparent liquid that is flammable and explosive.
DMDCS is a crucial raw material for silicone products, including silicone intermediates, silicone oils, silicone rubbers, and silicone resins. It is also used in the production of heat-resistant, high-strength carbonized fibers, making it essential for advanced material applications. Proper handling is necessary due to its reactive nature.

Dimethyldichlorosilane: Guide
Dimethyldichlorosilane is a key raw material for silicone production, used in manufacturing silicone intermediates (such as D4 and DMC), silicone oils, silicone rubbers, and silicone resins. It is also essential for producing heat-resistant, high-strength carbonized fibers.
In industry, dimethyldichlorosilane is commonly used as the main raw material in the hydrolysis polycondensation process to form dimethylsiloxane, which consists of a silicon-oxygen (-Si-O-) bond as the backbone, with organic groups attached. This process produces DMC (dimethylcyclosiloxane), which can be separated to obtain octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) and other high-purity cyclic and linear siloxanes. Through chemical reactions, various reactive functional groups can be introduced into the siloxane molecular chains, creating different types of silicone intermediates for specialized applications.
