Reactivity Profile
1-AZIRIDINEETHANOL is an amino alcohol. Amines are chemical bases. They neutralize 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 is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
Hazard
Irritant to skin and eyes.
Fire Hazard
1-AZIRIDINEETHANOL is combustible.
Safety Profile
Poison by ingestion,
skin contact, and intravenous routes. A sktn
and eye irritant. Questionable carcinogen
with experimental neoplastigenic data.
