Hazard information
Regulatory Information
Bromoethyl ethyl ether: Does not have an individual approval but may be used under an appropriate group standard
The New Jersey Worker and Community Right to Know Act requires public and private employers to provide information about hazardous substances at their workplaces. (N.J.S.A. 34:5A-1 et. seq.)
Fire Hazards
Excerpt from ERG Guide 130 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible / Noxious)]:
· HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames.
Health Hazards
Excerpt from ERG Guide 130 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible / Noxious)]:
· May cause toxic effects if inhaled or absorbed through skin.
Reactivity Profile
Ethers, such as 2-BROMOETHYL ETHYL ETHER, can act as bases. They form salts with strong acids and addition complexes with Lewis acids. The complex between diethyl ether and boron trifluoride is an example. Ethers may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. In other reactions, which typically involve the breaking of the carbon-oxygen bond, ethers are relatively inert.
