Abstract

Two simple parameters—the National Academy of Science-National Research Council Other Chemical rating and a Lewis acid-base rating were combined in a linear discriminate model to predict the degree of hazard from binary mixtures as measured by Dow Chemical experimental tests. The observed error of 10% compares favorably with 40% error obtained using the NAS-NRC rating system. These results will be incorporated in the American Society for Testing and Materials computer program CHETAH (Chemical Thermodynamics and Energy Hazard Potential).
