SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
The substance rapidly polymerizes , especially under the influence of moisture. Decomposes on heating and on burning. This produces toxic and irritating fumes and gases including nitrogen oxides.
Chemical stability
Liquid /dries/ within 15-45 seconds without aid of catalysts, heat, or solvent evaporation.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
METHYL 2-CYANOACRYLATE is an unsaturated aliphatic nitrile and acrylate ester. Nitriles may polymerize in the presence of metals and some metal compounds. They are incompatible with acids; mixing nitriles with strong oxidizing acids can lead to extremely violent reactions. Nitriles are generally incompatible with other oxidizing agents such as peroxides and epoxides. The combination of bases and nitriles can produce hydrogen cyanide. Nitriles are hydrolyzed in both aqueous acid and base to give carboxylic acids (or salts of carboxylic acids). These reactions generate heat. Peroxides convert nitriles to amides. Nitriles can react vigorously with reducing agents. Acetonitrile and propionitrile are soluble in water, but nitriles higher than propionitrile have low aqueous solubility. They are also insoluble in aqueous acids. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
Moisture (Note: Contact with moisture causes rapid polymerization).
Hazardous decomposition products
When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of /nitrogen oxides and CN-/.

Persistence and degradability
Methyl 2-cyanoacrylate polymerizes rapidly on contact with moisture(1-3). Therefore, biodegradation is not a relevant environmental fate process for this substance(SRC).
Bioaccumulative potential
Methyl 2-cyanoacrylate polymerizes rapidly on contact with moisture(1,2,3). Therefore, bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is not a relevant environmental process for this substance(SRC).
Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of methyl 2-cyanoacrylate can be estimated to be 3.7(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that methyl 2-cyanoacrylate is expected to have very high mobility in soil. However, movement of methyl 2-cyanoacrylate through soil will be hindered by its rapid polymerization as it comes into contact with moisture or other weakly basic substances(3-5).
Other adverse effects
no data available
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.

Other Information
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.The symptoms of asthma often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort.Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.Anyone who has shown symptoms of asthma due to this substance should avoid all further contact with this substance.An added stabilizer or inhibitor can influence the toxicological properties of this substance, consult an expert.
