Catalog Number
ACM9003092-5
Product Name
Poly(methyl Vinyl Ether) (30% in Water)
Description
Vinyl methyl ether appears as a colorless gas with a sweet odor. Shipped as a liquefied gas under own vapor pressure. Contact with the liquid may cause frostbite. Easily ignited. Vapors are heavier than air. Leaks may either be liquid or vapor. May asphyxiate by the displacement of air. Under prolonged exposure to fire or intense heat containers may rupture violently and rocket.;Liquid
