Hazard Predictions

No evidence was found for hazardous interactions between alkali metals and siloxanes under ambient conditions. At elevated temperatures, there can be a hazardous interaction:

Sand (silicon dioxide) can react with burning sodium (H. N. Gilbert, Chem. Eng. News, 1948, 36, p. 2604).

Lithium reacts with silicon and silicates upon heating to 150C. The metal cannot be melted in glass or porcelain (Pascal, P. 1966. Nouveau Traité de Chimie Minérale. Vol. 2, Part 1, p. 39. Masson et Cie.).
