|
| IMPORTANT DATA | |
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
COLOURLESS CRYSTALS OR WHITE POWDER. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating producing calcium oxide. The solution in water is a medium strong base. Reacts violently with acids. Attacks many metals in presence of water forming flammable/explosive gas (hydrogen - see ICSC # 0001. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV: ppm; 5 mg/m 3 (ACGIH 1996). |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates the respiratory tract and is corrosive to the eyes and the skin. Medical observation is indicated. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Lungs may be affected by repeated or prolonged exposure to dust particles. |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |
|
Melting point (decomposes): 580°C
Relative density (water = 1): 2.2 Solubility in water: none |
