REACTIVITY DATA <br /> ' This is a stable material in closed containers at room temperature under normal storage <br /> and handling conditions. It does not undergo hazardous polymerization <br /> This is an OSHA Class IA flammable liquid A mixture of gasoline vapors and air can be <br /> ' explosive It is incompatible with oxidizing agents. <br /> Thermal-oxidative degradation can yield carbon monoxide and partially oxidized <br /> hydrocarbons. <br /> c © ""'rxdum Pubes Corpw"ionGENIUM PUBLISHING <br /> M :.d <br /> Any muvnercW utbout pubHawr s■pwitk permUdon is Prcbibiled <br />
