- Abstract
- Due to the intrinsic hazards associated with the transport, storage and use of combustible liquids in contact with air and other oxidants, a program of research was initiated at the Bureu of Mines to determine the conditions under which unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine (UDMH) may be hazardous. This program was undertaken in accordance with the terms of a cooperative agreement between the Bureau of Mines and the Westvaco Chlor-Alkali Division, Food Machinery and Chemical Corporation.
