HEXAMETHYLDISILIZANE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Hexamethyldisilizane (HMDS) is an organosilicon compound with the formula (CH3)3SiNHSi(CH3)3. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with an ammonia-like odor, commonly used in organic synthesis as a silylation reagent. HMDS is employed to introduce trimethylsilyl groups into molecules, enhancing their stability and volatility for analytical purposes. It is widely used in the semiconductor industry as a surface treatment agent to improve adhesion of photoresists. HMDS is also used in the preparation of siloxanes and silicones. Handling HMDS requires caution due to its flammability and potential to cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. Proper storage and handling procedures are essential to prevent exposure and ensure safety. HMDS's role in both chemical synthesis and advanced manufacturing processes highlights its versatility and importance in various industrial applications.
