Storage method
Storage Precautions[21] Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 37℃. The packaging must be sealed and must not come into contact with air. They should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, alkalis, etc. and avoid mixed storage. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.
Synthesis method
Methyl chloride and silicon powder are directly synthesized in the presence of cuprous chloride catalyst in the next step to generate a methylchlorosilane mixture, which is purified by distillation to obtain the product dimethyldichlorosilane. Then use vacuum distillation to separate and purify. 
Purpose
Used in the manufacture of silicone compounds. [22]
