Product data sheet (Polymer production, 2021-9-17): Applications: EADC is used as a raw material for production of Ziegler-Natta catalysts and in dimerization of olefins. Storage: EADC and its solutions are stable when stored under a dry, inert atmosphere and away from heat. EADC slowly decomposes at temperatures above ~ 165°C. Packaging and transport: EADC and its solutions are available worldwide in cylinders and portable tanks. In North America only, EADC is also available in tank trailers and rail cars. Containers are fabricated from carbon steel and are equipped with dip tubes for top discharge and all connections are located in the vapor space. EADC may need to be melted before attempting to remove product from containers. Both packaging and transport meet the international regulations. Safety and handling: EADC ignites upon exposure to air and reacts violently with water. Hydrocarbon solutions of EADC may also ignite upon exposure to air. EADC and its solutions must be handled under a dry, inert atmosphere, e. g. nitrogen or argon. Water must be scrupulously removed from process equipment prior to putting it into metal alkyls service. Failure to do so may result in an explosion. Products of complete combustion of EADC and its solutions are aluminum oxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride and water. EADC causes severe burns to the skin and eyes. It is imperative that proper personal protective equipment be worn when handling EADC. Please refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for further information on the safe storage, use and handling of EADC. This information should be thoroughly reviewed prior to acceptance of this product. The SDS is available at nouryon.com/sds-search. Additional information: Availability: EADC is available as the neat pyrophoric liquid (freezes at 32°C) and as pyrophoric and nonpyrophoric solutions in a variety of hydrocarbon solvents.
