Reactivity Profile
PASSION FLOWER OIL react with acids to liberate heat. Heat is also generated by interaction with caustic solutions. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing with alkali metals and hydrides. React slowly with oxygen in the air to become rancid.
Health Hazard
None-is a food.
Safety Profile
A nuisance mist. When
heated to decomposition it emits acrid
