Product Information

• Name: Octamethyltrisiloxane
• Synonyms: 1,1,1,3,3,5,5,5-OctamethyltrisiloxaneDimethylbis(trimethylsiloxy)silaneFRD 20
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Octamethyltrisiloxane is a long-term efficacy polymer that has been used as a fluorescence probe. It is also used in biological studies and as an experimental model. Octamethyltrisiloxane has chemical stability and displays excellent process optimization properties. This compound is often mixed with glycol ethers to produce polymers for use in paints, coatings, sealants, insulation materials, and lubricating fluids. Octamethyltrisiloxane can be used for wastewater treatment due to its ability to absorb hydrogen fluoride gas.
