Safety & Health

Safety Notes
  • Reactivity; Chemical stability: Possibility of hazardous reactions No hazardous reactions known if properly stored. When it is used as intended (up to 425 °C), amounts (< 25%) of a mixture of D-cyclic siloxanes (including octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4, CAS 556-67-2) and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5, CAS 541-02-6)) are formed. This depresses the flash point and increases the vapor pressure.
  • Conditions to avoid: Permeation of oxygen and water or any contamination at operating temperature.
  • Incompatible materials: None known.
  • Hazardous decomposition products : When it is used as intended (up to 425 °C), it has been found that in the absence of oxygen and after relatively long operating times, extremely small quantities of methane, hydrogen and volatile silanes (tetramethylsilane, CAS 75-76-3 and trimethylsilane, CAS 993-07-7) may be produced, which further depress the flash point.
