However, due to the corrosion of dimethyl ether to rubber, special valves should be used for valves or regulators.
Methyl ether is a flammable gas. Mixing with air will form an explosive mixture. Contact with heat, Mars, flame or oxidant is easy to burn and explode. When exposed to air or light, peroxide with potential explosion hazard will be produced. Gas is heavier than air, it can spread to a considerable distance at a lower place, and it will catch fire when it meets a fire source. In case of high heat, the internal pressure of the container rises, which is in danger of rupture and explosion.
