siloksaanirenkaista
Siloksaanirenkaista, known in English as siloxane rings or cyclosiloxanes, are a class of cyclic silicones. These compounds consist of a ring structure made up of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms, with organic groups attached to each silicon atom. The most common siloxane rings are characterized by the number of silicon atoms in the ring, such as D3 (three silicon atoms), D4 (four silicon atoms), and D5 (five silicon atoms).
Siloxane rings are found in a variety of consumer and industrial products. They are frequently used in
The environmental fate and potential toxicity of some siloxane rings, particularly D4 and D5, have been subjects
