Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
yellowish liquid with an irritating odour | [Uses]
Dehydration of alcohols; N- and C-chlorinations. | [General Description]
A slightly yellowish liquid with a pungent odor. Water insoluble. Flash point near 0°F. Corrosive to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. | [Air & Water Reactions]
May ignite on contact with air or moist air. May burn rapidly with flare-burning effect. Water insoluble. Decomposed exothermically by water with the evolution of toxic chlorine gas. | [Reactivity Profile]
HYPOCHLOROUS ACID TERT-BUTYL ESTER decomposes exothermically when exposed to UV light to give acetone and chloromethane. Glass containers have burst because of pressure buildup after exposure to fluorescent lighting or daylight. Reacts violently with rubber. Should not be heated to its boiling point. | [Health Hazard]
Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Inhalation of decomposition products may cause severe injury or death. Contact with substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution. | [Fire Hazard]
Flammable/combustible material. May ignite on contact with moist air or moisture. May burn rapidly with flare-burning effect. Some react vigorously or explosively on contact with water. Some may decompose explosively when heated or involved in a fire. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished. Runoff may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. |
