SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
no data available
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
The vapour is heavier than air and may accumulate in lowered spaces causing a deficiency of oxygen.Decomposes on contact with hot surfaces or flames. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes of hydrogen chloride, phosgene and chlorine. Decomposes slowly on contact with moisture. This produces trichloroacetic acid and hydrochloric acid. Reacts violently with finely divided metals. This generates fire and explosion hazard.
