- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
When combined, strong oxidizers and epoxides may react with intensity, as shown in the examples below. However, no specific evidence was found for a hazardous reaction between weak oxidizers and epoxides. Because of the nature of the members of the Weak Oxidizing Agents group we would not expect reaction kinetics to yield hazardous conditions. We urge chemists to perform testing to ensure that hazards do not occur under conditions appropriate to the scenario.
Strong oxidants react very exothermically with epoxides, and may result in a fire (Rich, Gerald A. Dangerous Chemical Reactions, Gulf Publishing Company: Houston, TX, 1993, p. 298).
