Why does Embalming Fluid react with Hydrocloric acid?
INCOMPATIBILITY: Avoid strong oxidizing agents such as: nitrates, perchlorates or concentrated sulfuric, nitric, or acetic acids. Material may be reactive with potassium t-buttoned. AVOID ANY CONTACT WITH HYDROCHLORIC ACID. Resultant product may contain BIS-chloromethyl ether, and OSHA-regulated carcinogen I found this on the MSDS sheet and so it does form a toxic product, BIS-chloromethyl ether. This product is a carcinogen which means it could cause a cancer forming tumor to grow. My guess is that the ethylene glycol reacts with the HCL.
