Applications
Hexamethyldisiloxane is used as a solvent in organic reactions. It finds application as an international standard for ¹H NMR spectroscopy for calibrating chemical shift. Further, it is used in liquid bandages to protect skin from irritation. In addition, it is used to measure tissue oxygen tension as a receptor molecule. It is also used to make low-k dielectric materials for the semi-conductor industries by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD) method.

Solubility
Slightly miscible with water.

Notes
Hygroscopic. Keep the container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, acids, bases and oxygen.
