Application | dimethyldichlorosilane is the most widely produced monomer in the silicone industry, and its upstream raw materials are metal silicon and methyl chloride, downstream synthesis of organic silicon DMC, organic silicon D4 and other intermediates, and then used in the production of silicone rubber, silicone resin, silicone oil and other end products. methylchlorosilane is the main monomer for the synthesis of organosilicon polymers. Dimethyldichlorosilane is used to make silicone oil, silicone rubber and silicone resin; Methyldichlorosilane is used to make fabric moisture barrier and other organic monomers; Trimethylchlorosilane is used as the head of silicone oil, and methyltrichlorosilane is used as silicone resin. These products are widely used in moisture-proof electrical insulation materials, laminates, coatings, lubricants, building materials, etc. used as an intermediate in the production of silicone dimethyldichlorosilane is used as a monomer of a silicone resin and synthesis of an organosilicon compound, and it can also be used in the production of carbonized fibers with heat resistance and high strength. |
preventive measures | 1. Keep away from fire, heat source, open flame and hot surface; No smoking. Keep the container closed. 3. Grounding and connection of container and receiving equipment. 4. The use of explosion-proof electrical, lighting, ventilation facilities. 5. Use only tools that do not produce sparks. 6. Take measures to prevent static electricity. Wear protective gloves, glasses, and face masks. 8. Avoid inhalation of gas and vapor. Operate only outdoors or in well-ventilated places. After Operation, thoroughly clean the body contact parts. No food, water or smoking is allowed in the workplace. 10. Exclusion into the environment is prohibited. |
production method | there are indirect and direct methods. The direct method is now used in industry and was invented by E.G. Rocho in the United States in 1940. In the production of copper or copper salt as catalyst, at about 300 ℃, the direct reaction of methyl chloride and silicon powder, which is a complex heterogeneous reaction, the reaction mixture mainly contains dimethyl dichlorosilane (75%), monomethyltrichlorosilane (20-30%), trimethylmonochlorosilane (5 %), and methyldichlorosilane; The boiling points of these components are 70 °c, 66.4 °c, 57.9 °c, and 41 °c, respectively, and are separated by an emulsifying column. The composition can be adjusted by changing the operating conditions as needed. |
