1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexamethyldisilazane Market Volume will reach to 31,900 metric tons in 2024

    1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexamethyldisilazane (abbreviated HMDS) is colorless liquid at room temperature. It is an organic silicon functional additive which is widely used in pharmaceutical, surface treatment, lithium battery electrolyte and electronics.

    For pharmaceutical application, HMDS is used as functional group protective agent, catalyst, and activator. For example, it can be used to produce antibiotics drugs (Cefomycin, Amikacin, Penicillin etc.), cardiovascular drugs (Rosuvastatin, Atorvastatin Calcium etc) and nucleoside drugs (Lamivudine, Sofosbuvir, Zidovudine, Cytarabine, Capecitabine, Fluorouracil etc.). For surface treatment application, it can be used to modify the surface of white carbon black powder, diatomaceous earth powder to improve hydrophobicity, reinforcement, tear resistance. For lithium battery electrolyte application, it can improve the electrochemical and cycling performance of lithium-ion battery. With high volatility and low impurity residue, HMDS can be used as anti-corrosion adhesion assistant agent for electronic cleaning agent, semiconductor photoresist and positive photoresist.
