25265-68-3 Usage
General Description
A colorless liquid with an ether-like odor. Less dense than water. Flash point 12°F. Vapors heavier than air. Used to make other chemicals and as a solvent.
Air & Water Reactions
Highly flammable. Partially soluble in water. Oxidizes readily in air to form unstable peroxides that may explode spontaneously [Bretherick 1979. p.151-154, 164].
Reactivity Profile
METHYL TETRAHYDROFURAN reacts violently with oxidants, causing fire and explosion hazards [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980. p. 891].
Health Hazard
Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution.
Fire Hazard
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 25265-68-3 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 2,5,2,6 and 5 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 6 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 25265-68:
(7*2)+(6*5)+(5*2)+(4*6)+(3*5)+(2*6)+(1*8)=113
113 % 10 = 3
So 25265-68-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
