| IMPORTANT DATA |
Physical State; Appearance
HYGROSCOPIC WHITE GRANULES OR CRYSTALLINE POWDER.Physical dangers
Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air. Chemical dangers
The substance decomposes on heating producing carbon monoxide (see ICSC 0023) and hydrogen (see ICSC 0001), causing fire and explosion hazard. The substance decomposes on contact with acids producing formic acid vapours (see ICSC 0485). Occupational exposure limits
TLV not established. |
Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol.Inhalation risk
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly. Effects of short-term exposure
The substance irritates the eyes and the respiratory tract. |
