10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
Halogenated aliphatic compounds, such as HEXABROMOCYCLODODECANE, are moderately or very reactive. Halogenated organics generally become less reactive as more of their hydrogen atoms are replaced with halogen atoms. Materials in this group may be incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Also, they may be incompatible with many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, alkali metals, and epoxides. This compound can react vigorously with oxidizing materials.
