1.Reactivity Profile: Chloroparaffin gives evidence of instability at temperatures greater than 77° F. Chloroparaffin discolors in sunlight. Chloroparaffin is sensitive to prolonged exposure to heat or light (can darken). Aluminum, zinc or iron will catalyze this decomposition. Chloroparaffin is incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Chloroparaffin is also incompatible with strong alkalis.
2.Fire Hazard : Chloroparaffin is nonflammable.
