| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
An explosive. May explode under prolonged exposure to heat. Primary hazard is the blast effect of an instantaneous explosion and not flying projectiles and fragments. Forms yellow crystals. | [Reactivity Profile]
Hexanitro-1,2-diphenylethylene may be considered an oxidizing agent. If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation. May explode in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide even in the presence of water or organic solvents. | [Health Hazard]
Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. | [Fire Hazard]
MAY EXPLODE AND THROW FRAGMENTS 1600 meters (1 MILE) OR MORE IF FIRE REACHES CARGO. |
