Boiling point: 1550°C (partially sublimes) Melting point: 656°C See Notes. Density: 5.2/5.7 g/cm³ See Notes. Solubility in water, g/100ml at 30°C: 0.0014 (none) Vapour pressure, Pa at 574°C: 130 Density (at 24°C): 5.9 g/cm³ |
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur in crustacea. It is strongly advised not to let the chemical enter into the environment. |
| NOTES |
|
Melting point established under the absence of oxygen. Density differs with crystalline structure. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. The recommendations on this card do not apply to vapour exposure during the production. The technical product may contain impurities which alter the health effects; for further information see ICSC 0013 Arsenic. UN regulation: the special provision SP45 is applicable to the UN number 1549 (Hazard class 6.1 and packaging group III). It means that antimony sulfides and oxides which contain not more than 0.5 % of arsenic calculated on the total weight are not subject to these regulations. Card has been partly updated in October 2005. See sections Occupational Exposure Limits. |
