Tetramethyl-cyclotetrasiloxane is a good impregnant of photoelectric material. It is used to manufacture of modified siloxane with defined hydrogen content and chain quantity. It is also used in production of silicone polymers and acts as a precursor for the deposition of polysiloxane, cyclic siloxane, silicon dioxide, oxycarbide thin films with low dielectric constant for microelectronics and semiconductors.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
Applications
