The reaction varied from mild flame at 350 F with wood, to violent explosion at 275 F with oil. Violent reaction with the possibility of a flash fire. Exothermic reaction, producing toxic fumes which may ignite. Violent, exothermic reaction. Formation of spontaneously explosive nitrogen trichloride.
Thermal decomposition releases oxygen and toxic chlorine gas.
Hazardous polymerization has not been reported to occur under normal temperatures and pressures. Protect against physical damage. Sotre in a cool, dry, well ventilated place away from combustible materials. Store away from incompatible substances. Reaction with fuels may be violent.
