반응 프로필
METHYL STEARATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.
건강위험
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition METHYL STEARATE emits toxic fumes.
화재위험
METHYL STEARATE is combustible.
Safety Profile
Questionable
carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic
data. Combustible when exposed to heat or
flame; can react with oxidizing materials. To
fight fire, use CO2, dry chemical. When
heated to decomposition it emits acrid
smoke and irritating fumes.
