4. REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Stable
Conditions to Avoid: Avoid contact with incompatible materials (see below).
Incompatibility (materials to avoid): Contact with powerful oxidizing agents such as fluorine, boron trifluoride, chlorine trifluoride, manganese trifluoride, and
oxygen difluoride may cause fire and/or explosions. Silica dissolves readily in hydrofluoric acid producing a corrosive gas – silicon tetrafluoride.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Limestone ignites on contact with fluorine and is incompatible with acids, alum, ammonium salts, and magnesium.
Silica reacts violently with powerful oxidizing agents such as fluorine, boron trifluoride, chlorine trifluoride, manganese trifluoride, and oxygen difluoride yielding
possible fire and/or
explosions. Silica dissolves readily in hydrofluoric acid producing a corrosive gas – silicon tetrafluoride.
Hazardous Polymerization: Not known to polymerize
