Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane Production
This report presents the economics of Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane production via dimethyldichlorosilanes hydrolysis. The study assumes a conventional plant located in the United States receiving a feed of dimethyldichlorosilanes. Cyclization is performed by heating the hydrolysis mixture with potassium hydroxide.
