Pyrolysis of polydimethylsiloxanes (980 C, 1 s) yields a series of cyclic dimethylslloxanesthat are separated and detected using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Trace amounts of polymer can be quantitatively analyzed by se-lectively monitoring the isotopic cluster of ions at m/e 207, 208, and 209 present in the mass spectrum of the major pyrolysis product, hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane. Application of this technique to polydlmethylsiloxane determination in the range from 10'5 to 10~ 10 g is demonstrated. The amount of detected materials increases as the viscosity of the fluid in-creases, and this limits accuracy to about an order of magnitude. However, if the viscosity of the polydlmethylsiloxane is known, the technique permits analyses accurate to within 10%.Approximately 235 million pounds of silicones were pro-duced in 1978 (1), almost one tenth the amount of nylon produced during the same year (2). Silicones are found in a vast array of products, including synthetic lubricants, paint resins, polishes, coolants, fuser oils, plastics, brake fluids, sealants, surfactants, and dielectrics. Polydimethylsiloxanes are easily the largest class of silicones produced. These ma-terials have low surface tensions, about 17-22 dynes/cm, and
