Production method
Add dimethyldichlorosilane dropwise to water, maintain the temperature at 30-40°C, separate the layers, remove the acid water, hydrolyze the oil with sodium hydroxide solution, add the hydrolyzate and 0.5%-2% potassium hydroxide to crack In the kettle, cracking was carried out at 120-140°C and 99.8kPa vacuum. The lysate is fractionated, and the fractions at 173-176 °C are collected to obtain octamethylcyclotetraoxysilane.
