Colorless clear liquid |
| General Description |
Liquid. |
| Air & Water Reactions |
Highly flammable. Reacts vigorously with water to form hydrogen chloride (hydrochloric acid) |
| Reactivity Profile |
Chlorosilanes, such as (Chloromethyl)trichlorosilane, 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. |
| Health Hazard |
(Non-Specific -- Methyl Trichlorosilane) If inhaled, may be harmful; contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. |
| Fire Hazard |
(Non-specific -- Methyl Trichloro- silane) Flammable/Combustible material; may be ignited by heat, sparks, or flames. Vapors may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Container may explode in heat of fire. Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors, or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. May react violently with water. |
