Product Information

• Name: 1,2-Bis(chlorodimethylsilyl)ethane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,2-Bis(chlorodimethylsilyl)ethane is a reactive chemical that is synthesized from hydroxychloroformates and hydrogen chloride. It reacts with silicon to form chlorosilanes, which are then used in the polymerization of siloxanes. 1,2-Bis(chlorodimethylsilyl)ethane has been shown to be an effective initiator for the polymerization of methyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. 1,2-Bis(chlorodimethylsilyl)ethane is also used as a hydroxyl group donor in organic reactions.
