Starting from about 225°C, “dry” epichlorohydrin may polymerize.
In the presence of water, even at moderate temperatures, it may undergo thermal decomposition by hydrolysis, especially if the medium is acidic or basic.
Epichlorohydrin burns to form water, carbon oxides and hydrogen chloride (HCl: an irritant gas).
