Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.Decomposes on burning. This produces toxic fumes including boron oxides. Reacts with oxidants. This generates fire and explosion hazard. Reacts with water, moist air and strong acids. This produces highly flammable methanol and boric acid.
