10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Conditions for stability of the product: polymer is stable substance under usual application conditions.
10.1. Conditions to avoid
Heating up over allowable temperature (temperature of decomposition: approx. 300癈).
10.2. Materials to avoid
Strong oxidizing agents.
10.3. Hazardous decomposition products
Stabilizing agents' requirement: not required
Possibility of the dangerous exothermic reaction: Combustion and thermal decomposition give carbon black,
carbon oxides and various organic compounds. The thermal decomposition gives Styrene mainly at
temperatures from 300 to 400 癈. Product is completely degraded at 450 癈. The carbon monoxide is major
gas in the decomposition products at temperature 600 癈.
Safety significance of the possible change of the substance physical state: See section ,,possibility of the
dangerous exothermic reaction".
Hazardous decomposition products formed by contact with water: See section ,,possibility of the dangerous
exothermic reaction".
Possibility of degradation to unstable products: carbon see section ,,possibility of the dangerous exothermic
reaction".
