Hazard Predictions
- Explosive: Reaction products may be explosive or sensitive to shock or friction
- Flammable: Reaction products may be flammable
- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
A hazardous reaction is predicted between chlorosilanes and nitrides, with the possibility of an unstable product being generated. While no specific evidence was found for this interaction, chlorosilanes are known to react vigorously with strong bases.
Chlorosilanes can react with bases, releasing flammable H2 gas and possibly other gases (Arkles, B. 2000. Silicon Compounds, Silanes. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology.
