MMH - methylhydrazine (CH6N2)

Methylhydrazine is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with an ammonia odor. Methylhydrazine is mainly used as a chemical reagent in the manufacture of certain drugs, crop protection products and rocket fuels.

Common synonyms: MMH - Monomethylhydrazine

Properties of MMH - methylhydrazine (CH6N2):

Reactivity: Methylhydrazine is a highly reactive compound, liable to form dangerous degradation products when reacting with other substances. It is highly unstable and can decompose violently on impact, heat or contact with oxidizing agents.
Melting point: Methylhydrazine has a melting point of -52.4°C.
Solubility: Methylhydrazine is soluble in water and most organic solvents.
Health risks: Methylhydrazine is extremely toxic, and can cause severe damage by inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. It is classified as a probable human carcinogen.
Protection and prevention: Methylhydrazine must be handled in a well-ventilated environment, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles, overalls). In the event of leakage or contamination, the area must be evacuated immediately and exposed persons decontaminated. Personnel handling this substance should be trained in safety procedures and appropriate risk control measures should be put in place.
