Water hazards chemicals reacting with, strong

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage hazardous polymerization will not occur substance is a strong base that is soluble in water reacts with strong oxidants FP (68°C, 154°F) LFL/UFL (unknown) AT (unknown). 

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES hazardous polymerization may occur may polymerize in presence of strong acids and bases, particularly when hot reacts with strong oxidizers, strong acids, metallic salts, caustics, zinc, aluminum, and water FP (31°C, 88°F) LFL/UFL (3.8%, 21%) AT (41 rc, 772°F) HC (-4524 cal/g) HF (-148.4 kJ/mol liquid at 25°C). 

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES stable at room temperature in sealed containers hazardous polymerization will not occur reacts slowly with water to form acetic acid and methanol can react with strong oxidizers nitrates, alkalies, and acids FP (-10°C, 14°F) LFL/UFL (3.1%, 16%) AT (454°C, 849°F) HC (-1.4610 x lO J/kmol) HF (-445.8 kJ/mol liquid at 25°C). 

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES may polymerize easily polymerization may be hazardous usually contains inhibitors to prevent polymerization uninhibited monomer vapor may polymerize in vents and confined spaces reacts with strong oxidizing agents, alcohols, acids, amines, strong bases, iron, tin and copper reacts vigorously with water FP (-7°C, -19°F) LFL/UFL(5.3%, 26%) AT (534°C, 994°F) HF (-92.0 kJ/mol liquid at 25°C). 

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES corrosive low ignition energy polymerizes exothermically hazardous polymerization may occur due to high temperatures or contamination with highly active catalysts, aqueous acids, bases, amines, and acidic alcohols reacts with strong acids, alkalies, salts, clay based absorbents, and combustible materials reaction with water may lead to a runaway reaction FP (-37°C, -35°F) LFL/UFL (2.3%, 36.0%) AT (465°C, 869°F) HC (-13,000 Btu/lb, -7221 cal/g, -302.3 x lO J/kg) HF (-122.6 kJ/mol liquid at 25°C). 

Pure sodium hydroxide is a white crystalline solid. It dissolves in water with high evolution of heat and is a very strong base. It reacts with certain metals such as aluminum and zinc to produce hydrogen. Extremely hazardous chemical. 

Hazard Flammable, reacts strongly with water use carbon dioxide or dry chemical to extinguish. Store in tightly closed containers. Corrosive to eyes and skin. TLV 0.85 mg/m3.
