Description
Chloroprene, stabilized appears as a clear colorless liquid. Flash point -4°F. May polymerize exothermically if heated or contaminated. If polymerization takes place inside a container, the container may rupture violently. Less dense than water. Vapors heavier than air. Used to make neoprene rubber.;Liquid;COLOURLESS LIQUID WITH PUNGENT ODOUR.;Colorless liquid with a pungent, ether-like odor.;Colorless liquid with a pungent, ether-like odor.
