Shipping
UN1127 Chlorobutanes require, Hazard Class: 3;
Labels: 3—Flammable liquid
Incompatibilities
Vapor may form explosive mixture with
air. May accumulate static electrical charges, and may
cause ignition of its vapors. Water contact slowly forms
hydrochloric acid. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates,
nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine,
bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases,
strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides, alkaline earth, and alkali
metals; finely divided metal. Attacks metals in presence of
moisture. Attacks some plastics, rubber, or coatings
Chemical Properties
Butyl chloride is a highly flammable, clear,
colorless liquid.
Chemical Properties
colourless liquid
Waste Disposal
Dissolve or mix the material
with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. All federal,
state, and local environmental regulations must be
observed.
