| Specification: |
Hexadiene (42296-74-2) may react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents and may exothermically with reducing agents to release hydrogen gas. In the presence of various catalysts (such as acids) or initiators,it may undergo exothermic addition polymerization reactions. Violent explosions at low temperatures in ammonia synthesis units have been traced to the addition products of dienes and nitrogen dioxide. |
