2.3 Other hazards
The substance does not meet the criteria for PBT or vPvB (see section 12).
Other physicochemical hazards
In contact with the metals aluminium, tin and zinc, it releases hydrogen (a flammable gas at between 4 and 75% by volume in air). Dilution with water produces a very exothermic reaction.
