Hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane
Hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane, also known as D3 and D3, is the organosilicon compound with the formula. It is a colorless or white volatile solid. It finds limited use in organic chemistry. The larger tetrameric and pentameric siloxanes, respectively octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, are of significant industrial interest, whereas 1,000–10,000 tonnes per year of the trimer is manufactured and/or imported in the European Economic Area.
