Alcohols and Polyols mixed with
Aldehydes

Hazard Predictions

Alcohols and aldehydes react slowly to form acetals or hemiacetals. This reaction can be catalyzed by acid or base (T. W. G. Solomons, C. B. Fryhle., Solomons & Fryhle's Organic Chemistry. 8th ed.; John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 2004. p. 731-736).

Acetaldehyde reacts violently with alcohols (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 2000. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 10th Edition. New York: John Wiley & Sons, p. 6).
