Tetrachlorosilane

Product Overview

Tetrachlorosilane, also widely recognized in the chemical industry as Silicon Tetrachloride, stands as a fundamental inorganic compound essential for the modern silicon value chain. Our facility produces this critical intermediate with stringent quality controls to ensure it meets the demanding specifications required for downstream synthesis. As a colorless transparent liquid with high volatility, this substance serves as the primary starting material for producing a vast array of organosilicon compounds and high-purity silicon materials.

We understand that consistency in raw material quality directly impacts the performance of final products. Therefore, our manufacturing process focuses on achieving exceptional purity levels, minimizing metallic impurities that could adversely affect semiconductor or optical fiber applications. This product is designed for industrial-scale operations where reliability and chemical stability are paramount.

Technical Specifications

To guarantee performance across various applications, we adhere to rigorous testing protocols. Each batch is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying key parameters. The following table outlines the standard specifications for our commercial grade Tetrachlorosilane:

Maintaining this level of purity is crucial for clients involved in the production of polycrystalline silicon and high-performance silicone resins. Our quality assurance team ensures that every drum shipped meets these exacting standards.

Industrial Applications

The versatility of Tetrachlorosilane makes it indispensable across multiple high-tech sectors. Its primary use lies in the manufacture of organosilicon compounds, serving as the backbone for producing silicate esters, silicone oils, and silicone rubbers. These derivatives are essential in industries ranging from construction to electronics due to their heat resistance and insulating properties.

Furthermore, high-purity grades are utilized as a key material for manufacturing polycrystalline silicon, which is vital for the photovoltaic and semiconductor industries. It is also employed in the production of high-purity silicon dioxide and quartz fibers, enabling advanced optical communications and specialized insulation materials. In specialized sectors, it finds application in creating corrosion-resistant ferrosilicon for metallurgy and certain obscuration systems for defense applications.

Packaging Storage And Safety

Safety and integrity during transport are our top priorities. The standard packaging configuration is a 250Kg iron drum, designed to withstand the corrosive nature of the chemical while preventing moisture ingress. Since Tetrachlorosilane hydrolyzes readily upon contact with water, releasing hydrogen chloride, proper handling is essential.

Products should be stored in the original unopened container at temperatures of 25℃ or below. The shelf life is established at one year from the date of production. Expired products must undergo rigorous testing before any potential use to ensure safety and efficacy. As a Dangerous Goods Class 8 substance, all logistics comply with international hazardous material transportation regulations to ensure global delivery safety.
