Hazard Predictions

Aniline and methylamine form explosive mixtures with nitromethane (Makovky, A. et al. 1958. Chemical Reviews 58:631).

Many amines ignite spontaneously on contact with nitrocellulose (Association of British Chemical Manufacturers. 1956. Quarterly Safety Summary 27:2).

Ethylenediamine increases sensitivity of nitro compounds to detonation (MCA Case History No. 1564, Case Histories of Accidents in the Chemical Industry, Washington, Manufacturing Chemists' Association).

Bis(2-aminoethyl)amine increases nitromethane's sensitivity to detonation (Walker, F.E. 1979. Actra Astronaut 6:807-813; Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 2544).

Nitroalkanes may violently decompose when exposed to amines (Markofsky, S.B. 2002. Nitro Compounds, Aliphatic. In Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. (Online)).
