LS-618 Octaphenylcyclotetrasiloxane
CAS NO. 546-56-5

Silfluo LS-618 is Octaphenylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4Ph / P4), a cyclic siloxane tetramer with eight phenyl substituents.

The molecule contains four Si–O repeat units forming a cyclotetrasiloxane ring, with two phenyl groups on each silicon atom.

The all-phenyl substitution pattern raises thermal stability, refractive index, and radiation resistance relative to dimethylsiloxane analogs.

Used as cyclic monomer for ring-opening polymerization of phenyl silicone fluids and rubbers (PVMQ), as flame-retardant synergist in engineering plastics, and as structural modifier in specialty polymer systems.
