Stability and Reactivity
Stability/Instability
Thermally stable at typical use temperatures.
Conditions to Avoid:
Exposure to elevated temperatures can cause product to decompose.
Generation of gas during decomposition can cause pressure in closed systems.
Incompatible Materials:
Avoid contact with: Strong acids. Strong bases. Strong oxidizers.
Hazardous Polymerization
Will not occur.
Thermal Decomposition
Decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply and the presence of other materials.
Decomposition products can include and are not limited to: Aldehydes. Alcohols. Ethers.
Hydrocarbons. Ketones. Organic acids. Polymer fragments.
