- Polymerization hazard: Polymerization reaction may become intense and may cause pressurization
Acidic metal salts may catalyze polymerization reactions with aldehydes. These reactions may become intense and cause pressurization.
Acid salts cause violent polymerization of acrolein (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 417.).
Acetaldehyde reacts violently with CoCl3 (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 5.).
