What is 1,3-Divinyltetramethyldisiloxane？
1,3-Divinyltetramethyldisiloxane is a reactive siloxane compound appearing as a colorless clear liquid with a characteristic mild odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents. The compound contains two vinyl functional groups that provide excellent reactivity, making it a valuable crosslinking agent and intermediate in silicone chemistry. It should be stored under inert atmosphere to prevent polymerization.
