Hazard Predictions
- Polymerization hazard: Polymerization reaction may become intense and may cause pressurization
Epoxides react with strong reducing agents and may polymerize in their presence (Personal communication with chemical industry experts). Because of the weak nature of the members of Weak Reducing Group, it is unlikely that a mixture of epoxides and weak reducing agents will produce hazardous conditions. However, chemists should do small scale testing to confirm.
