Description

Application
1 1 3 3-Tetramethyldisiloxane is widely applied in the manufacture of silicone polymers silicone resins silicone surfactants hydride-terminated polysiloxanes and as a reagent for producing specialty organosilicon materials.

Purpose
The primary purpose of 1 1 3 3-Tetramethyldisiloxane is to serve as a reactive silicon-based intermediate and reducing agent in organic synthesis particularly in hydrosilylation and selective reduction reactions.

General Description
1 1 3 3-Tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS) is an organosilicon compound it consisting of two dimethylsilyl groups linked by an oxygen atom and it appears as a colorless volatile liquid containing reactive SiH bonds.
