SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Decomposes above 220°C . This produces toxic gases of chlorine and fluorine compounds. Reacts violently with water and glass. Reacts with all forms of plastics, rubber and resins, except the highly fluorinated polymers. Most combustible materials ignite spontaneously on contact with this substance. Reacts violently with oxidizable materials, metals and metal oxides. Contact with organic materials causes explosion. Contact with acids causes emission of highly toxic fumes.
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
The gas is heavier than air.
Conditions to avoid

Incompatible materials
AIR AND WATER REACTIONS: A violent reaction occurs with water or ice generating acidic HF and chlorine, Sidgwick, 1156(1950). The release of Chlorine Trifluoride to the atmosphere rapidly generates two toxic reaction products: HF and Chlorine Dioxide, Lombardi, D.A. and M.D. Cheng 1996. "Modeling Accidental Releases of Chlorine Trifluoride to the Atmosphere," Paper No. 96-WP66B.02, presented at the 89th Annual Meeting of the Air and Waste Management Association, Nashville, Tennessee, June 23-26.CHEMICAL PROFILE: A low-boiling liquid (b.p. 12 C), in gaseous state irritating and toxic. A highly reactive oxidant reagent, spontaneously flammable, used as a rocket propellant. Incompatible with fuels, nitro compounds. Interaction with water is violent and may be explosive, even with ice [ Sidgwick, 1950, p. 1156]. Immediate explosive reaction with hydrocarbons or halocarbons even at -70 C [Brower, K. R., J. Fluorine Chem., 1986, 31, p. 333]. Solution with carbon tetrachloride capable of detonation, solutions with nitroaryl compounds (TNT, hexanitrobiphenyl) or highly chlorinated compounds are extremely shock-sensitive. Violent, sometimes explosive reaction with hydrogen containing materials, e.g., acetic acid, ammonia, benzene, ether, coal gas, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, methane, or fluoroamino compounds. Ignition with fibrous materials (cotton, paper, wood). [Mellor, 1956, vol. 2, suppl. 1, p. 155]. Explosive gaseous products (chlorodifluoroamine) formed with ammonium fluoride or ammonium hydrogen fluoride [Gardner, D. M. et al., Inorg., Chem., 1963, 2, p. 413]. Ignition on contact with iodine, boron-containing materials (boron powder, tetraboron carbide, boron-aluminum), fibrous or finaly divided refractory materials (asbestos, glass, wool, sand, tungsten carbide). Violent reaction with mineral acids (nitric acid, sulfuric acid), chromium trioxide, ruthenium metal, selenium tetrafluoride. [Bretherick, 5th ed., 1995, p. 1235]. Chlorine trifluoride is a hypergolic oxidizer and contact with a number of metals and their oxides (aluminum, antimony, arsenic, calcium, copper, iridium, iron, lithium, lead, magnesium, molybdenum, osmium, potassium, rhodium, sodium, selenium, silver, tellurium, tin, tungsten, zinc), nonmetals (phosphorus, silicon, sulfur), salts (mercury iodide, potassium iodide, silver, nitrate, potassium carbonate) will result in a violent reaction often followed by ignition [Mellor, 1956, vol.2, suppl. 1, p. 155; Sidgwick, 1950, p. 1156].

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
