Hazard Predictions
- Potentially hazardous: May be hazardous but unknown
Sulfuric acid, perchloric acid, and several sulfonic acids have been used to initiate the cationic ring-opening polymerization of small cyclic siloxanes. Other strong acids may react similarly. (Butts, M., et al. 2002. Silicones. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online)).
Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.
