Hexachlorodisilane(CAS: 13465-77-5)

Hexachlorodisilane (CAS: 13465-77-5) is a colorless to pale yellowish liquid with a faint chlorinated hydrocarbon odor. It has the chemical formula Si₂Cl₆. This compound is used in the production of silicones and as a starting material for other organosilicon compounds.

Hexachlorodisilane (CAS: 13465-77-5) is primarily used in the production of silicone rubbers, silicone oils, and other silicone-based products. It is also used as a precursor in the synthesis of organosilicon compounds and in the manufacturing of coatings and adhesives.

Hexachlorodisilane (CAS: 13465-77-5) can be harmful if inhaled, ingested, or contacted with skin or eyes. It is classified as a hazardous material and requires proper protective equipment during handling. Safety precautions include using appropriate respiratory protection, protective clothing, and gloves. Avoid contact with water as it may form corrosive solutions.

Hexachlorodisilane (CAS: 13465-77-5) should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat and sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed container in a well-ventilated area. Keep away from water and incompatible materials. Maintain a temperature below 32°C (90°F) to prevent the formation of corrosive solutions and for optimal stability.
