Reactivity Profile
N,N'-DIBUTYLHEXAMETHYLENEDIAMINE neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
Health Hazard
(Non-Specific -- Corrosive Alkali) Acute circulatory shock; burns in mouth, throat, and esophagus; suffocation due to glottal or laryngeal swelling; perforation and inflammation of the esophagus and the tracheobronchial tree; aspiration pneumonia. Delayed stricture (scar) formation causing problems with swallowing, and stomach filling and emptying; strong alkalis are markedly corrosive and penetrating to skin and mucous membranes.
