Chemical Properties
colourless fuming liquid
General Description
A colorless liquid with a pungent odor. Flash point of 199°F. Corrosive to metals and tissue. Used to make various silicon containing compounds.
Air & Water Reactions
Reacts violently with water, steam, moist air, alcohols, acetone, light metals with generation of heat and combustible (H2) and corrosive (HCl) gases. on contact with air 3-CYCLOHEXENYLTRICHLOROSILANE gives off HCl gas. REF [Handling Chemicals Safely, 1980 p. 924].
Reactivity Profile
Chlorosilanes, such as 3-CYCLOHEXENYLTRICHLOROSILANE, are compounds in which silicon is bonded to from one to four chlorine atoms with other bonds to hydrogen and/or alkyl groups. Chlorosilanes react with water, moist air, or steam to produce heat and toxic, corrosive fumes of hydrogen chloride. They may also produce flammable gaseous H2. They can serve as chlorination agents. Chlorosilanes react vigorously with both organic and inorganic acids and with bases to generate toxic or flammable gases. Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating, toxic hydrogen chloride and phosgene may be generated in a fire.
Health Hazard
Inhalation causes irritation of mucous membrane. Contact with eyes or skin causes severe burns. Ingestion causes severe burns of mouth and stomach.
Potential Exposure
This material is used to make silicone
polymers.
First aid
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any
contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek
Medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the
skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately
with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. If
this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure, begin
rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including
resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if
heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a Medical
facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medi-
cal attention. If victim is conscious, administer water or
milk. Do not induce vomiting. Medical observation is
recommended for 24 to 48 hours after breathing overexpo-
sure, as pulmonary edema may be delayed. As first aid for
pulmonary edema, a doctor or authorized paramedic may
consider administering a drug or other inhalation therapy.
Shipping
UN1762 Cyclohexenyl trichlorosilane, Hazard
class: 8; Labels: 8-Corrosive material.
Incompatibilities
Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates,
nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine,
bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explo-
sions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases,
strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. Chlorosilanes react vigor-
ously with bases and both organic and inorganic acids gen-
erating toxic and/or flammable gases. Chlorosilanes react
with water, moist air, or steam releasing heat and toxic,
corrosive fumes of hydrogen chloride. The reaction may
also release flammable hydrogen fumes. Attacks metals in
the presence of moisture. Some chlorosilanes are pyro-
phoric; self-ignite in air. Contact with ammonia can cause
a self-igniting compound.

storage
Color Code—White: Corrosive or Contact Hazard;Store separately in a corrosion-resistant location. Prior toworking with Cyclohexenyl trichlorosilane you should betrained on its proper handling and storage. Store in tightlyclosed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away fromwater, steam, and moisture because toxic and corrosive chloride gases, including hydrogen chloride, can be produced. Sources of ignition, such as smoking and openflames, are prohibited where cyclohexenyl trichlorosilane isused, handled, or stored in a manner that could create apotential fire or explosion hazard.
