Section 10: Stability and Reactivity

Stability: The material is stable under the recommended handling and storage conditions. If subjected to high temperatures, it may give rise to dangerous decomposition products. (see. Section 5.2)

Substances to be avoided: avoid contact with oxidizing substances. Strong oxidizing agents are to be considered incompatible materials.

Products resulting from decomposition: if subjected to high temperatures (>300°C) it may give rise to dangerous decomposition products for health and safety. In the event of fire, dangerous gases may develop, such as CO (Carbon Monoxide), CO2 (Carbon Dioxide), CH3COOH (Acetic Acid).

Information. on the different routes of exposure:

Inhalation: not known
Ingestion: not known
Skin contact: molten material causes thermal burns
Eye contact: molten material causes thermal burns

Information on toxicological effects: There are no toxicological risks in the raw material state and during normal use, provided that the basic standards of industrial hygiene referred to in section 10 are complied with.
