Talk:Nitrous Oxide

Questions:

Could organic contamination in a pipe (e.g. oil or soot) spontaneously ignite under pressurized NO ?

What else could spontaneously ignite or catalyze with NO at near room temperature ? Charles F. Radley 14:22, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

I now see different MSDS sheet say different things.

I just read through the newer 2005 MSDS from Air Liquid ..... and it says that explosive decomposition can occur at temperatures below 300 degc when under pressure .... very nasty
