Features of LS-673 Heptamethyltrisiloxane
1. Highly reactive central Si-H functionality, enabling rapid, high-yield, and highly site-specific addition reactions (hydrosilylation) with various terminal olefins.
2. Compact, well-defined trisiloxane backbone that structurally imparts extreme hydrophobicity and unparalleled spreading capabilities to its derivative compounds.
Applications of LS-673 Heptamethyltrisiloxane
1. Trisiloxane superspreader and agrochemical adjuvant synthesis
Used as reactive intermediate for platinum-catalyzed addition with allyl-polyethers to produce polyether-modified trisiloxane superspreaders and agrochemical adjuvants.
2. Polyurethane foam stabilizer synthesis
Used as Si–H precursor for synthesizing silicone-polyether copolymer surfactants for rigid and flexible PU foam stabilization.
3. Personal care and cosmetic silicone intermediates
Used as precursor for alkyl-modified silicones and specialty sensory fluids in personal care formulations.
4. Industrial wetting agents and leveling agents
Used in synthesis of wetting agents, leveling agents, and defoamers for waterborne coatings, automotive finishes, and printing inks.
