Product Name and Structure
Silicone oil D6 is also called dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane. Its molecule presents a ring structure, consisting of six silicon atoms and six oxygen atoms, with methyl groups attached to the silicon atoms. This regular ring structure gives the molecule a certain symmetry, which affects the interaction force between molecules and the aggregation state of the molecule.
From the perspective of chemical bonds, the polarity and stability of the silicon-oxygen bond lay the foundation for the chemical properties of D6. The electronic effect and spatial effect of the methyl group give the molecule a relatively low surface energy, thus showing some special physical properties.


Intermediate
D6 is an important intermediate in the organic silicon synthesis industry chain. It can participate in a variety of organic reactions to prepare other organic silicon products. For example, by reacting with hydrogenated silicone oil to introduce new functional groups, changing the chemical properties and functions of the molecule. It can also undergo a ring-opening reaction under acidic or alkaline conditions, and undergo a condensation reaction with other organic compounds to form organic silicon polymers with different structures and properties to meet the application needs of different fields.


Use
In the automotive field, D6 can be used in the manufacture of automotive parts. For example, adding D6-based silicone materials to rubber seals can improve the seals' aging resistance and sealing effect, extending their service life. In the medical industry, silicone materials made from D6 have good biocompatibility and can be used to manufacture coatings for medical devices or components of some soft implant materials. In the construction industry, D6 can be used to produce materials such as sealants and waterproofing agents to improve the waterproof sealing performance of buildings and prevent problems such as rainwater penetration.
