Dimethyl ether is a flammable gas. Mixing with air can form an explosive mixture. Contact with heat, sparks, flames or oxidants is flammable and explosive. Exposure to air or under light conditions can generate potentially explosive peroxides that are denser than air and can diffuse to a relatively distant location at a lower location and ignite in the event of a fire. In case of high heat, the internal pressure of the container increases, posing a risk of cracking and explosion. Mainly used as a methylating agent for the production of dimethyl sulfate, and can also synthesize N,

Exposure to air or under light conditions can generate potentially explosive peroxides that are denser than air and can diffuse to a relatively distant location at a lower location and ignite in the event of a fire. In case of high heat, the internal pressure of the container increases, posing a risk of cracking and explosion. Mainly used as a methylating agent for the production of dimethyl sulfate, and can also synthesize N,N-dimethylaniline, methyl acetate, acetic anhydride, ethylene dimethyl ester and ethylene; also can be used as alkylation Substitutes for agents, refrigerants, blowing agents, solvents, leaching agents, extractants, anesthetics, fuels, civil composite ethanol and Freon aerosols. Used in hair care, skin care, pharmaceuticals and coatings as a variety of aerosol propellants. Fuel additives promoted abroad have many unique uses in the pharmaceutical, dye, and pesticide industries.
