Dimethylphenol combustion

DIMETHYLPHENOL (576-26-1) C,H. 0 Combustible solid. Dust forms explosive mixture with air (flash point (xylenols) 173°F/63°Ccc autoignition temp 1110°F/599°C). A weak organic acid. Reacts violently with strong oxidizers. Incompatible with sulfuric acid, bases, amines, amides, inorganic hydroxides acid chlorides acid anhydrides ammonia, alkanolamines, isocyanates, alkylene oxides, epichlorohydrin. Attacks steel, brass, copper, and copper alloys. On small fires, use dry chemical powder (such as Purple-K-Powder), water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, or COj extinguishers. 

XYLENE-a,a -DI AMINE or m-XYLYLENEDIAMINE (1477-55-0) CjHijNj Combustible Uquid (flash point 273°F/134°C oc Fire Rating 1). Incompatible with organic anhydrides, acids, acid anhydrides acid chlorides acrylates, alcohols, aldehydes, alkylene oxides, substituted allyls, cellulose nitrate, cresols, caprolactam solution, epichlorohydrin, ethylene dichloride, isocyanates, ketones, glycols, nitrates, phenols, vinyl acetate. Exothermic decomposition with maleic anhydride. Increases the explosive sensitivity of nitromethane. On small fires, use dry chemical powder (such as Piuple-K-Powder), foam, or CO extinguishers. XYLENOL 235 (576-26-1) see 2,6-dimethylphenol. 

DIMETHYLPHENOL (576-26-1) Combustible solid. Dust forms explosive mixture with air. A weak organic acid. Reacts violently with strong oxidizers. Incompatible with sulfuric acid, caustics, ammonia, aliphatic amines, alkanolamines, isocyanates, alkylene oxides, epichlorohydrin. 

DIMETHYLPHENOL PHOSPHATE (25155-23-1) Combustible liquid. May react violently with strong oxidizers, antimony(V) pentafluoride. Incompatible with lead diacetate, magnesium, silver nitrate, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, nitrates. 

The results presented in this study allow for the elucidation of the reaction mechanism and kinetics of the major products of alkylated aromatic compounds in the troposphere. The results show that the peroxy radical chemistry achieves the conversion of dimethylphenol to unsaturated dicarbonyls and aldehydes, thereby aiding oxidation and combustion processes that either releases large amount of energy or form reactive free radicals.
