Hazard Predictions

The combination of chlorosilanes with acetals or hemiacetals (compounds containing hydroxyl groups) may react vigorously, as is documented below:

Reaction of SiCl4 and ethanol is exothermic and evolves toxic HCl gas, which can lead to overpressurization (Skinner, S.J. 1981. Loss Prevention 14:178-180.).

Chlorosilanes react with alcohols to form silyl ethers and HCl gas (Butts, M., et al., 2002. Silicones. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online)).
