Ethylene glycol di-n-butyl ether usage and synthesis
General Description | Colorless liquid. |
Air & Water Reactions | Oxidizes in air to form unstable peroxides that may explode spontaneously [Bretherick, 1979 p.151-154, 164]. |
Reactivity Profile | ETHYLENE GLYCOL DI-N-BUTYL ETHER may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. May generate flammable and/or toxic gases with alkali metals, nitrides, and other strong reducing agents. May initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides. Relatively inert in other reactions, which typically involve the breaking of the carbon-oxygen bond. |
Health Hazard | Moderately toxic by ingestion and skin contact. Irritates skin and eyes. |
Fire Hazard | Special Hazards of Combustion Products: On decomposition, ETHYLENE GLYCOL DI-N-BUTYL ETHER emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. |
