Hexamethyldisilazane, Electronic grade, 99+%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Hexamethyldisilazane is used as a solvent in organic synthesis and organometallic chemistry. It is often used as an adhesion promoter for photoresist in photolithography. Further, it is used for the preparation of trimethylsilyl ethers from hydroxy compounds. It is used as an alternative to critical point drying during sample preparation in electron microscopy. It is added to analyte to get silylated diagnostic products during pyrolysis in gas chromatography- mass spectrometry.

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.
