TYPES OF
HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE |
Not combustible but enhances combustion of other substances. Many reactions may cause fire or explosion. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.
|
NO contact with combustible and incompatible substances.
|
Water in large amounts.
|
| EXPLOSION |
|
|
In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
|

| EXPOSURE |
|
PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
|
|
| Inhalation |
Cough. Sore throat.
|
Local exhaust or breathing protection.
|
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Skin |
Redness. Pain.
|
Protective gloves.
|
Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
|
| Eyes |
Redness. Pain. Blurred vision.
|
Safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.
|
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
|
| Ingestion |
Abdominal cramps. Abdominal pain. Blue lips or fingernails. Nausea.
|
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.
|
Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Refer for medical attention.
|
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING |
Sweep spilled substance into containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Wash away remainder with plenty of water. Do NOT absorb in saw-dust or other combustible absorbents (extra personal protection: P2 filter respirator for harmful particles).
|
UN Hazard Class: 5.1
UN Pack Group: II |
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | STORAGE |
Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-51G02
|
Separated from combustible and reducing substances. Cool. Dry.
|
| IMPORTANT DATA | |
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
COLOURLESS CRYSTALS. CHEMICAL DANGERS: May explode on heating. The substance decomposes on heating or on burning producing toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides and zinc oxides. The substance is a strong oxidant and reacts violently with combustible and reducing materials. Reacts violently with carbon, copper, metal sulfides, phosphorus and sulfur. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: No indication can be given about the rate in which a harmful concentration in the air is reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. See Notes. |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |
|
Melting point: ca. 110°C
Relative density (water = 1): 2.07 (hexahydrate) Solubility in water: good |
|
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |
|
This substance may be hazardous to the environment; special attention should be given to crustacea.
|
| NOTES | |
|
Hydration may increase the degree of hazard. Other melting points: 45.5°C (trihydrate); 36.4°C (hexahydrate). Rinse contaminated clothes (fire hazard) with plenty of water.
