ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>Silicone</b>. Silicone is a class of polymers, in which silicon atoms are linked via oxygen atoms, each silicon atom bearing one or several organic groups (usually methyl or phenyl in industrial production). Silicon compounds are quite abundant in nature, but silicones are not found naturally. They were first synthetized in 1930, with industrial production beginning nine years later and growing rapidly in the years that followed, a result of the high demand for silicones in World War II. Currently, they have a wide variety of commercial forms and applications, ranging from automotive to pharmaceutical industries.</p> <h6>Raw Material</h6> <p><b>Dimethyldichlorosilane</b>. Dimethyldichlorosilane is an organosilicon compound used as a starting material for silicone polymers and resins. It reacts with water to form silanols, leading to silicone production. Manufactured from methyl chloride and silicon, it is stored as a colorless liquid. Its role in creating silicones is fundamental for applications in sealants, adhesives, and medical devices.</p>

ICC - Short Description: This report presents the economics of Low Viscosity Silicone Fluid production in the United States. The assessment concerns a plant producing Polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) by polycondensation of linear siloxanes, using hexamethyldichlorosiloxane for molecular weight control. The linear siloxanes are produced by hydrolysis of dimethylchlorosilane. The plant also produces cyclic siloxanes and hydrogen chloride as by-products.
