LS-615 1,1,5,5-Tetramethyl-3,3-Diphenyl-Trisiloxane
CAS NO. 17875-55-7
Silfluo LS-615 is 1,1,5,5-Tetramethyl-3,3-diphenyltrisiloxane, a phenyl-modified trisiloxane with terminal Si–H groups.
The molecule contains two diphenylsiloxy units at the center and two dimethylhydrogensiloxy end groups, giving a linear Me₂HSi–O–Ph₂Si–O–SiHMe₂ structure.
The terminal Si–H groups participate in platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation (addition cure) with vinyl-functional siloxanes without releasing volatile byproducts.
The diphenyl central unit raises refractive index and thermal stability relative to dimethyl-only analogs.
Used as crosslinker in high-RI phenyl silicone elastomers, optical encapsulant resins, and medical-grade silicone systems.
