Material is a strong solvent and can soften paints and rubber. Decomposes with heat. Polymerization can occur. Conditions leading to polymerization are excessive heat and inadvertent addition of catalyst. Contamination of product may also cause hazardous polymerization.
Fine mists are explosive below the flash point.
Vapor forms explosive mixture with air. Sealed containers exposed to elevated temperatures may rupture explosively due to polymerization. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to ignition sources and flash back. Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical. Keep personnel removed and upwind of fire.
