Ref. 3D-FH166347

Product Information

• Name: Hexadecamethylcyclooctasiloxane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Hexadecamethylcyclooctasiloxane is a hydrocarbon solvent that is used in the production of many industrial products. It has a relatively high boiling point and low volatility, which makes it suitable for use as a heat-resistant monomer in the production of polymers. Hexadecamethylcyclooctasiloxane also has functional groups that are capable of reacting with nitro groups to form stable compounds such as hexadecanetriamine. This compound can be used as an animal health additive because it improves the nutritional value of feed by increasing its caloric content. The optical properties of hexadecamethylcyclooctasiloxane are also important because they affect the way in which light interacts with the substance and can be used to analyze reactions during analytical chemistry experiments.
