Alcohols and Polyols mixed with
Chlorosilanes

Hazard Predictions

Reaction of SiCl4 and ethanol is exothermic and evolves toxic HCl gas, which can lead to overpressurization (Skinner, S.J. 1981. Loss Prevention 14:178-180.).

Chlorosilanes react with alcohols to form silyl ethers and HCl gas (Butts, M., et al., 2002. Silicones. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online)).
