CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Acrylyl chloride appears as a liquid. Boiling point 75 °C. Used to make plastics. Polymerization in a closed container can cause pressurization and explosive rupture. (EPA, 1998) |
|---|---|
| Color/Form | Liquid |
| Boiling Point | 167 °F at 760 mmHg (EPA, 1998) |
| Flash Point | 14 °C (57 °F) - closed cup |
| Solubility | Soluble in chlorinated solvents |
| Density | 1.1136 at 68 °F (EPA, 1998) - Denser than water; will sink |
| Vapor Density | 3.63 (Air = 1) |
| Vapor Pressure | 93.0 [mmHg] |
| Stability/Shelf Life | Stable under recommended storage conditions. Contains the following stabilizer(s): Phenothiazine (400 ppm) |
| Decomposition | Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions: Carbon oxides, hydrogen chloride gas. |
| Corrosivity | Corrosive to metals |
| Polymerization | A 500 mL bottle of the acid chloride stabilized with 0.5% of phenothiazine was shipped to a hot climate without refrigeration, and was stored on arrival in a fume cupboard for 2 days at temperatures approaching 50 °C. The material polymerized, bursting the bottle and forming a solid foam. |
| Refractive Index | Index of refraction: 1.4343 at 20 °C/D |
| Other Experimental Properties | Hydrolyzed by water |
| Chemical Classes | Toxic Gases & Vapors -> Acid Halides |
