General Description White crystalline solid.
Air & Water Reactions Moderately water soluble.
Reactivity Profile Vinyl Carbamate is a carbamate ester. Carbamates are chemically similar to, but more reactive than amides. Like amides they form polymers such as polyurethane resins. Carbamates are incompatible with strong acids and bases, and especially incompatible with strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is produced by the combination of active metals or nitrides with carbamates. Strongly oxidizing acids, peroxides, and hydroperoxides are incompatible with carbamates. Vinyl Carbamate is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids and strong bases. .
Health Hazard ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition Vinyl Carbamate emits toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and oxides of nitrogen.
Fire Hazard Flash point data for Vinyl Carbamate are not available; however, Vinyl Carbamate is probably combustible.
