Grade – 99%+
Application – Silylation, organosilicon synthesis, moisture-sensitive reactions
Product Overview
Dichlorodimethylsilane, 99%+ purity, is a highly reactive organosilicon compound supplied in AcroSeal® packaging to ensure long-term stability and protection against moisture. This colorless liquid is a key reagent in silylation processes, where it introduces dimethylsilyl groups into organic molecules, enhancing their stability or reactivity. Its high purity minimizes side reactions, making it suitable for demanding applications in organosilicon chemistry, including the synthesis of silanes, silicones, and other silicon-based polymers. The AcroSeal® technology provides an airtight seal, preventing hydrolysis and degradation during storage. This product is particularly valuable in research and development settings where precise control over reaction conditions is critical. The 100ML and 800ML pack sizes offer flexibility for both small-scale experiments and larger synthesis requirements. Always handle with care in a well-ventilated fume hood, as it reacts vigorously with water and releases hydrogen chloride gas.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Dichlorodimethylsilane in AcroSeal® packaging?
The AcroSeal® packaging extends the shelf life significantly when stored properly. Under ideal conditions (cool, dry, and sealed), it remains stable for at least 2 years from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this product be used directly in aqueous reactions?
No, Dichlorodimethylsilane reacts violently with water, producing hydrogen chloride gas. It should only be used in strictly anhydrous conditions with compatible solvents.
3. What are the recommended storage conditions?
Store in a tightly sealed container under inert gas (argon or nitrogen) at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and ignition sources. Keep in a dedicated corrosives cabinet.
4. Is this product compatible with glass containers?
Yes, it can be stored in glass containers, but ensure they are thoroughly dried and free from moisture. AcroSeal® bottles are preferred for long-term storage.
5. What safety precautions should be taken while handling?
Wear full PPE including gloves, goggles, and lab coat. Handle only in a fume hood due to its corrosive and toxic nature. Avoid inhalation and skin contact.
