SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Reacts with strong oxidants.
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
PROPYLENE GLYCOL METHYL ETHER ACETATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. Incompatible with oxidizers.
