Hazard Predictions

Ethylene oxide gas may explode on contact with magnesium perchlorate, possibly due to formation of explosive 2-hydroxyethyl perchlorate (National Fire Protection Association. 1975. Publication 491M. pp. 314).

Strong oxidants react very exothermically with epoxides, and may result in a fire (Rich, Gerald A. Dangerous Chemical Reactions, Gulf Publishing Company: Houston, TX, 1993, p. 298).
