Description of key information

Additional information

mmt is a slightly viscous, straw-colored liquid with a faint herbaceous odor. It has a melting point of -3 °C and a boiling point of 250.3 °C. The density of mmt is 1.38 g/cm3 and the vapor pressure at 26.1 °C is 9.73 Pa. The partition coefficient of 3.4 indicates that mmt is slightly lipophilic, and the solubility of mmt in water is 10 mg/L.

The flash point of mmt is 94 °C and is considered to be a non-flammable substance and a non-oxidising liquid. The self-ignition temperature of mmt is 230 °C and does not pose a danger for explosion. 

mmt is by definition a fuel additive, and therefore soluble and stable in organic solvents. It is thermally stable and photosensitive. The half-life of mmt, when exposed to light, is less than two minutes, which means that care must be taken in handling or storage of mmt to avoid a rapid degradation of the substance.
