| 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. See Notes.
|
NO contact with combustibles, reducing agents and organic materials.
|
In case of fire in the surroundings: water in large amounts, water spray.
|
| EXPLOSION |
Risk of fire and explosion, see Chemical Dangers.
|
Do NOT expose to heat, friction or shock .
|
In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position.
|
| EXPOSURE |
|
PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
|
|
| Inhalation |
Cough.
|
Local exhaust or breathing protection.
|
Fresh air, rest.
|
| Skin |
Redness. Pain.
|
Protective gloves. Protective clothing.
|
First rinse with plenty of water, then remove contaminated clothes and rinse again.
|
| Eyes |
Redness. Pain.
|
Safety goggles, or eye protection in combination with breathing protection if powder.
|
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
|
| Ingestion |
Burning sensation. Nausea. Vomiting. Diarrhoea.
|
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.
|
Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink.
|
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | |||||||
|
Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Personal protection: P2 filter respirator for harmful particles. Moisten first, then sweep spilled substance into covered containers, then remove to safe place. Do NOT absorb in saw-dust or other combustible absorbents. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment.

| IMPORTANT DATA | |||
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: WHITE HYGROSCOPIC CRYSTALS CHEMICAL DANGERS: May decompose explosively on shock, friction, or concussion. and on heating. The substance is a strong oxidant and reacts violently with combustible and reducing materials and metals, producing toxic and corrosive fumes, including ammonia and hydrogen chloride , causing fire and explosion hazard. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. MAK not established. |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The aerosol is irritating to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: The substance may have effects on the thyroid , resulting in reduced levels of thyroid hormones. | ||
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |||
|
Decomposes at >200 °C (See Notes) Density: 1.95 g/cm³ Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 25°C: 20 |
|||
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |||
|
This substance may be hazardous in the environment; special attention should be given to crustacea.
| |||
| NOTES | |||
|
Different decomposition temperatures are given in the literature. Unstabilized substance may explode on heating. Health effects of exposure to the substance have not been investigated adequately. Rinse contaminated clothes (fire hazard) with plenty of water. Card has been partially updated in January 2008: see Physical Properties.
