Thermal Hazard Properties

Although CNI is not classed as highly flammable or flammable its thermal properties can create hazards:

  • Decomposition Temperature > 100 deg C

    – the hotter it gets the  faster it decomposes  until it cannot stop

  • Auto Ignition Temperature > 130 – 200 deg C

    – the higher the CNI concentration the earlier it will ignite itself.
