Section 10. Stability and Reactivity
Reactivity: Not reactive under normal conditions of use.
Chemical stability: Stable
Possibility of hazardous reactions: Contact with metals may produce flammable hydrogen gas.
Conditions to avoid: Heating above 230°F may result in an exothermic decomposition with rapid release of
carbon dioxide gas.
Incompatible materials: Avoid oxidizing agents, alkaline materials, chlorate, nitrates and hypochlorites.
Hazardous decomposition products: Thermal decomposition may yield carbon and nitrogen oxides, chlorine
and hydrogen chloride.
Section 11. Toxicological Information
