|
CYCLOHEXYL ISOCYANATE |
The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible |
The substance may polymerize due to heating and under the influence of incompatible materials. •The substance decomposes on burning producing toxic fumes (nitrogen oxides). •Reacts with oxidants and strong bases, water, alcohol, acids and amines |
