Chemical Properties
Ethyl phenyl dichlorosilane is a colorless
liquid. Fumes in humid air.
Chemical Properties
Colorless liquid that fumes strongly in
moist air.
General Description
Ethylphenyldichlorosilane is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. Ethylphenyldichlorosilane is decomposed by water to hydrochloric acid with evolution of heat. Ethylphenyldichlorosilane is corrosive to metals and tissue.
Air & Water Reactions
Reacts vigorously with water to form hydrogen chloride(hydrochloric acid)
Reactivity Profile
Chlorosilanes, such as Ethylphenyldichlorosilane, 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: Toxic hydrogen chloride and phosgene fumes may be formed.
Hazard
Toxic by inhalation and ingestion, strong
irritant to eyes and skin.
Health Hazard
Inhalation irritates nose and throat. Contact with liquid causes severe burns of eyes and skin. Ingestion causes severe burns of mouth and stomach.
Safety Profile
Poison by ingestion and
inhalation. A poison irritant to skin, eyes,
and mucous membranes. Corrosive. Will
react with water or steam to produce toxic
and corrosive fumes. Can react with
oxidizing materials. When heated to
decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl
and phenol. See also CHLOROSILANES.
Potential Exposure
Used in the manufacture of silicone
polymers
Shipping
UN2435 Ethylphenyldichlorosilane, Hazard
class: 8; Labels: 8-Corrosive material.
Incompatibilities
A strong reducing agent. Incompatible
with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from
alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, and
epoxides. Chlorosilanes react vigorously with bases and
both organic and inorganic acids generating toxic and/or
flammable gases. Chlorosilanes react with water, moist air,
or steam to produce heat and toxic, corrosive fumes of
hydrogen chloride. They may also produce flammable gaseous hydrogen. Attacks human tissue and metals in the
presence of moisture
