Hexamethyldisiloxane (Medical Grade) - 55 Gallon Drum

Hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) is a volatile, colorless organosilicon liquid widely used as an industrial solvent, chemical reagent, and precursor for protective coatings. Because of its unique volatility, thermal stability, and hydrophobic properties, it has diverse applications ranging from electronics manufacturing to cosmetics. 

Note: Medical Grade at >/= 99% Purity

Common Uses:

• Coatings and Electronics: Used in Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) to create thin, protective, and insulating films on semiconductors and other substrates. It is also used to make glass and textiles water-repellent.
• Organic Synthesis: Serves as a versatile silylating reagent in pharmaceutical and organic manufacturing.
• Personal Care: Acts as a lightweight, non-greasy emollient and conditioning agent in lotions and hair care products, providing a silky finish without clogging pores.
• Solvent & Cleaner: Because of its low surface tension and volatility, it is used in specialised industrial cleaners and anti-fog sprays. 

Main Advantages:

• High Volatility & Low Surface Tension: Allows for fast drying and excellent spreading.
• Hydrophobic: Repels water effectively.
• Eco-Friendly Aspects: Known to be biodegradable with low toxicity, making it a suitable alternative in some applications.
