-----------------------------------------------REACTIVITY DATA-------------------------------------------STABILITY: Stable in normal conditions
INCOMPATIBILITY: aldehydes, ketones, active hydrogen containing species, oxidizers, mineral,
acids, bases, silicones, neoprene, paper and N-nitrosoamines. Many of them are known to be potent
carcinogens and may be formed when the product is in contact with nitrous acid, nitrites or atmospheres
with high nitrous oxide concentrations.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: CO, CO2, magnesium oxide, and organic fumes
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: None
