Hazard Predictions

When combined, strong oxidizers and amines may react with intensity, as shown in the examples below. However, no specific evidence was found for a hazardous reaction between weak oxidizers and amines. 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.

Ethylenediamine reacts violently with silver perchlorate (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 1554.), potentially igniting and exploding due to reaction heat (National Fire Protection Association. 1975. Publication 491M. pp. 368).

Amines will also incandesce with fluorine, posing a fire hazard (Hoffman, C.J. 1962. Chemical Reviews 62:12).
