General Description
Colorless crystals or white crystalline fluffy powder. Odorless. Tasteless.
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
DIETHYLSTILBESTROL DIPROPIONATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.
Fire Hazard
Flash point data for DIETHYLSTILBESTROL DIPROPIONATE are not available. DIETHYLSTILBESTROL DIPROPIONATE is probably combustible.
Safety Profile
Confirmed carcinogen
with experimental tumorigenic data. An
experimental teratogen. Other experimental reproductive effects. Human mutagenic
data. When heated to decomposition it
emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See
also DIETHYLSTILBESTEROL.
