10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Stability:
Product is stable: already a polymer, therefore no hazardous polymerization
can occur.
Hazardous Decomposition products:
Combustion will form CO2 and H2O. The plastic component of these products
(Prior to Use)
will emit black smoke on burning and unless excess oxygen is available carbon
monoxide is probable.
