About Ethylenediamine
Ethylenediamine is an organic compound that is used as a building block for the production of many other chemical products. It is also used as an excipient in many pharmacological preparations such as creams. Notably, ethylenediamine is a contact sensitizer capable of producing local and generalized reactions

- Highly reactive with many compounds. Can react violently with acetic acid, acetic anhydride, acrolein, acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, allyl chloride, carbon disulfide, chlorosulfonic acid, epichlorohydrin, ethylene chlorohydrin, hydrogen chloride, mesityl oxide, nitric acid, oleum, AgClO4, sulfuric acid, beta-propiolactone and vinyl acetate. Incompatible with strong acids, strong oxidizers (perchlorate salts), and chlorinated organic compounds. It is also incompatible with halogenated organic compounds and metal halides. May react with nitromethane and diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate. May ignite on contact with cellulose nitrate. Readily absorbs carbon dioxide from the air to give crusty solid deposits.

Guidance: Dry Chemical fire suppression is generally recommended for Ethylenediamine (C2H8N2). *Please consult your raw material manufacturer's safety data sheet (SDS) and your local authority having jurisdiction to verify the most adequate fire suppression extinguisher for your specific storage or use.
Additional extinguishing notes: water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide. Do not use water in case of drum or tank fires.
Always confirm extinguishing agents against the manufacturer SDS and your authority having jurisdiction before specifying a rental building fire-suppression package.
Storage & segregation guidance
Compliant storage and rental solutions for Ethylenediamine should account for its listed hazards, climate control needs (20 to 25°C above the freezing point), and segregation requirements. Highly reactive with many compounds. Can react violently with acetic acid, acetic anhydride, acrolein, acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, allyl chloride, carbon disulfide, chlorosulfonic acid, epichlorohydrin, ethylene chlorohydrin, hydrogen chloride, mesityl oxide, nitric acid, oleum, AgClO4, sulfuric acid, beta-propiolactone and vinyl acetate. Incompatible with strong acids, strong oxidizers (perchlorate salts), and chlorinated organic compounds. It is also incompatible with halogenated organic compounds and metal halides. May react with nitromethane and diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate. May ignite on contact with cellulose nitrate. Readily absorbs carbon dioxide from the air to give crusty solid deposits.
