Air purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. This compound possibly exists in both particulate and vapor phase. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area. Clear, colorless liquid. Stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage.
Heat contributes to instability.
Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide may form when heated to decomposition. May produce acrid smoke and irritating fumes when heated to decomposition. Contact with strong oxidizers may cause fire and explosions. This material reacts vigorously with reducing agents, and explosively with hydrogen trisulfide. Investigated as a tumorigen.
