Hazard Predictions

Epoxides react with reducing agents and may polymerize in their presence (Personal communication with chemical industry experts).

Ethylene oxide and SO2 can react violently in pyridine solution with pressurization if ethylene oxide is in excess (Case History 51, Case Histories of Runaway Reactions, Nolan, P. F., London, Polytechnic of the South Bank, 1983).
