disilane (Si2H6)

disilane (Si2H6)

Disilane is a colorless, odorless, flammable gas at room temperature.  Disilane is used in the electronics industry to produce amorphous silicon thin films on glass substrates.

Common synonyms: Silylsilane (French)

Properties of disilane (Si2H6):

  • Reactivity: Disilane is highly reactive and can react violently with oxygen, water, acids and bases.
  • Melting point: -111°C
  • Solubility: Disilane is sparingly soluble in water.
  • Health risks: Disilane is toxic by inhalation and can cause respiratory tract irritation and lung problems. It can also cause chemical burns if it comes into contact with skin or eyes.
  • Protection and prevention: wear suitable personal protective equipment, handle in a well-ventilated area, avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing, do not inhale vapours, do not ingest
