CAS 107-51-7: Octamethyltrisiloxane
Description:Octamethyltrisiloxane, with the CAS number 107-51-7, is a siloxane compound characterized by its unique structure, which consists of a chain of silicon and oxygen atoms, specifically featuring three silicon atoms and a total of eight methyl groups attached to them. This compound is a colorless, odorless liquid that exhibits low viscosity and high thermal stability, making it suitable for various applications. Its chemical properties include low surface tension and excellent hydrophobicity, which contribute to its effectiveness as a lubricant and a surfactant. Octamethyltrisiloxane is also known for its resistance to oxidation and degradation, allowing it to maintain its properties over a wide range of temperatures. Additionally, it is often used in cosmetics, personal care products, and industrial applications due to its ability to enhance texture and provide a smooth feel. However, it is important to handle this substance with care, as it may pose environmental concerns if released in large quantities.
