Skin contact with dichlorosilane

Dichlorosilane is a highly flammable, corrosive, and toxic gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. It causes severe bums on contact with eyes, skin, and mucous membranes. With water or moisture, it hydrolyzes rapidly to yield silica and silicon oxyhydride along with hydrochloric acid. It is shipped as a liquefied gas in low pressure cylinders at its vapor pressure of 9.1 psig (62.7 kPa) at 70°F (21.1°C). It can form flammable mixtures with air and oxidizing agents. 

Dichlorosilane hydrolyzes and oxidizes readily to release hydrogen chloride therefore, the symptoms, effects, and treatment will be similar to those for hydrogen chloride. Dichlorosilane will cause severe bums on contact with eyes, skin, and mucous membranes.
