Reactivity Profile
GAMMA PICOLINE or 4-METHYLPYRIDINE neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. Methyl propyl carbonate is incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols, sulfuric acid, epoxides, anhydrides, acid halides and Iron (II) sulfate. Gamma picoline may generate hydrogen, a flammable gas, in combination with strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame or oxidizers. Severe explosion hazards in the form of vapor, when exposed to flame or spark. Reacts violently with chlorosulfonic acid; CrO3; maleic anhydride; HNO3; oleum; perchromates; B-propiolactone; AgClO4; H2SO4;formamide; SO3; I. Dangerous when heated to decomposition Methyl propyl carbonate emits highly toxic fumes of cyanides; can react vigorously with oxidizing materials. |
|
Health Hazard
Harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Causes severe irritation. High concentrations are extremely destructive to tissues of the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract, eyes and skin. Symptoms of exposure may include burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal disturbances. |
|
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions. Forms explosive mixture in air. |
