Chemical Name CAS-Number	Physical	Chemical	UN Class or Division / Subsidiary Risks
ALLYL GLYCIDYL ETHER 106-92-3			3
EPICHLOROHYDRIN 106-89-8		The substance will polymerize due to heating or under the influence of strong acids, bases and contaminants •On combustion, forms toxic and corrosive fumes •The substance decomposes slowly on contact with water •Reacts violently with strong oxidants •Reacts violently with aluminium, zinc, metal powders, alcohols, phenols, amines (especially aniline) and organic acids causing fire and explosion hazard •Attacks steel in the presence of water	6.1
1,2-EPOXYBUTANE 106-88-7	The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible •The vapour mixes well with air, explosive mixtures are easily formed •As a result of flow, agitation, etc, electrostatic charges can be generated	The substance may polymerize on contact with acids, alkalies, tin, aluminium and iron chlorides with fire or explosion hazard	3
1,2-EPOXYPROPANE 75-56-9			3
2,3-EPOXYPROPANOL 556-52-5		The substance decomposes on contact with strong acids and bases, water, salts (aluminium chloride, ferric chloride) or metals (copper, zinc), causing fire and explosion hazard •Attacks plastic and rubber
ETHYLENE OXIDE 75-21-8			6.1 / 2.1
FURFURAL 98-01-1	The vapour is heavier than air	The substance polymerizes under the influence of acid(s) or base(s) with fire or explosion hazard •Reacts violently with oxidants •Attacks many plastics	3
FURFURYL ALCOHOL 98-00-0		The substance polymerizes under the influence of acids •Reacts violently with strong oxidants or strong acids, causing fire and explosion hazard	6.1
TETRAHYDROFURAN 109-99-9	The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible	The substance can form explosive peroxides •On combustion, forms carbon monoxide •Reacts violently with strong oxidants causing fire and explosion hazard	3
VINYL CYCLOHEXENE DIOXIDE 106-87-6		On combustion, forms acrid smoke and irritating fumes •Reacts with active hydrogen compounds (eg, alcohols, amines)

For UN Class: 1.5 = very insensitive substances which have a mass explosion hazard; 2.1 = flammable gas; 2.3 = toxic gas; 3 = flammable liquid; 4.1 = flammable solid; 4.2 = substance liable to spontaneous combustion; 4.3 = substance which in contact with water emits flammable gases; 5.1 = oxidizing substance; 6.1 = toxic; 7 = radioactive; 8 = corrosive substance
