Chlorine monoxide, thermal decomposition

Acryhc elastomers are normally stable and not reactive with water. The material must be preheated before ignition can occur, and fire conditions offer no hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible material (56). Above 300°C these elastomers may pyrolize to release ethyl acrylate and other alkyl acrylates. Otherwise, thermal decomposition or combustion may produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen chloride, and/or other chloiinated compounds if chlorine containing monomers are present ia the polymer. 

Up to the present time there are three cases where a thermal, bimolecular reaction appears to be the same in gas phase and solution. The thermal decomposition of chlorine monoxide is complicated but the time required to decompose from twenty per cent to sixty per cent at 65° is the same in carbon tetrachloride solution as in the gas phase.3... 

CHROMIUM CARBONYL (13007-92-6) CjCrOj Contact with strong oxidizers, heat above 400 F/204°C, or contact with chlorine and fuming nitric acid causes decomposition that may be violent possibly explosive. Sensitive to light undergoes photochemical decomposition. On small fires, use dry chemical powder (such as Purple-K-Powder), foam, or COj extinguishers. Thermal decomposition releases carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and carcinogenic chromium(VI) oxide.
