Applications: It's the primary material of high mol linear or cross-linking polysiloxane products. It can produce three types of polymer products including silicone oil, silicone rubber and silicone resin...

Hazard characteristics: It is flammable. It will produce carbon oxide and silicon dioxide when it burns and will decompose and produce formaldehyde when it heated to 200-300C. Electrostatic force accumulates and may ignite inhalator. It is suggested to adopt measures such as grounding or innert gas protection to avoid potential fire danger.
Stability: Stable
Polymerized danger: Polymerization
Access prohibition: -
Banned articles: Oxidant can cause reaction.
Combustion(decomposition) products: Silicon dioxide, carbon dioxide and minimum incomplete combustion carbide and formaldehyde.
Package storage and transportation: It should be packed in 200L iron drum(net weight 200kg/drum) and be stored in a shady, cool and ventilated storehouse. It should be keep away from kindling; Temperatue in the storehouse above 30C is not suitable. Avoid direct sunlight. Air-proof package is required without contact with air. And it should be placed and stored far away from oxidant, acid and alkali. The installation of lighting and ventilation in the storehouse should be explosion-proof. Swithes must be located outside the house. Corresponding varied and quantitative fire fighting equipment should be equiped. Check regularly to make sure free of leakage. Operate and handle in nitrogen gas. When conveyig, take care of loading and unloading to avoid damages on package and vessels. A regulated route is required for transportation without changing the route or halting suddenly.

Quality gurantee period: Quality guarantee period for this product is 6 months. Recheck by this standard is required when the product exceeds the time limits. The product can be used only after the test result is qualified.
