Description and Uses
Methyl bromide is a colorless liquid or gas with
practically no odor. It is a poisonous gas at
room temperature and atmospheric pressure. At
high concentrations, it has a chloroform-like
odor. Detection of lower concentrations is often
facilitated by a warning odorant, chloropicrin,
which is added by the manufacturer.
Methyl bromide is flammable only in the
range of 10 percent to 16 percent by volume in
air. Its physical properties do not meet the definition
of a flammable gas as defined by DOT
and TC. The onset of thermal decomposition
occurs at approximately 752°F (400°C).
Methyl bromide is used as a fumigant forpest control, for degreasing wool, and as a methylating agent. Its use as a refrigerant andin fire extinguishers is restrained because ofits health hazards.
