Chemical properties
Water-white liquid. hydrolyzes slowly, liberating formic acid. Soluble in water, alcohol and ether. Combustible.
The Uses of 1,2-Diformyloxyethane
Embalming fluids.
General Description
A water-white liquid. More dense than water. Flash point 200°F. May be toxic by ingestion. Used in embalming fluids.
Air & Water Reactions
Soluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
1,2-Diformyloxyethane reacts exothermically with acids. With strong oxidizing acids; the heat may ignite the reaction products. Also reacts exothermically with basic solutions. Generates hydrogen with with strong reducing agents (alkali metals, hydrides).
Hazard
Toxic by ingestion.
Health Hazard
Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
Flammability and Explosibility
Non flammable
Safety Profile
Poison by ingestion. A severe eye irritant. Flammable when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
