Fire Hazards
Excerpt from ERG Guide 116 [Gases - Flammable (Unstable); polymerization hazard]:
· EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.
Health Hazards
Excerpt from ERG Guide 116 [Gases - Flammable (Unstable); polymerization hazard]:
· Vapors may cause dizziness or asphyxiation without warning, especially when in closed or confined areas.
Hazards Summary
Highly flammable and forms explosive mixtures with air; Heat may cause explosive polymerization; [CAMEO] Extremely flammable and forms explosive mixtures with air; May polymerize; Inhalation may cause difficulty breathing, suffocation, convulsions, and coma; [Matheson Tri-Gas MSDS] Rapidly expanding gases can cause frostbite; A simple asphyxiant; [Airgas MSDS] Ethylacetylene, stabilized (UN2452) has warning of explosive polymerization; [ERG 2016] See Acetylene.
Reactivity Profile
ETHYL ACETYLENE may react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents. May react exothermically with reducing agents to release hydrogen gas. In the presence of various catalysts (such as acids) or initiators, may undergo exothermic polymerization.
