Dichloromethylphenylsilane is used as a monomer (‘building block’) in the production of silicone polymers or silicone resins. Silicone polymers may be oils, greases and rubbers. It is also used as an intermediate (starting material) in the production of other organosilicon substances. It is a bifunctional reagent for the preparation of methylphenylsilyl derivatives of diols.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
