Safety & Health
- Safety Notes
Thermal stability
Provided that moisture is excluded and heating time is short, decomposition only occurs at temperatures greater than 300°C. Exposure to moisture results in decomposition at much lower temperatures, especially in the case of thin layers. Hydrogen is liberated during this process and an increase in viscosity and/or gelling is observed. In the presence of specific catalysts (e.g. organotitanium compounds), WACKER® CROSSLINKER W can undergo thermal depolymerization with liberation of volatile, hydrogen-containing silanes and siloxanes.
Reactivity, dangers
In the presence of specific catalysts (acids, amines, metals, metal salts, platinum catalysts), WACKER® CROSSLINKER W may react with water, alcohols and similar strong proton donors to liberate hydrogen. The reaction maybe particularly vigorous in the presence of traces of alkaline substances in the homogeneous mixture. Direct contact between WACKER® CROSSLINKER W and alkalies should be avoided at all costs. The same applies to strong oxidizing agents.
