| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE | ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE |
Not combustible but enhances combustion of other substances.
|
NO contact with flammable substances.
|
In case of fire in the surroundings: water in large amounts.
|
| EXPLOSION |
Risk of fire and explosion on contact with combustible substances.
|
|
In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position.
|

| IMPORTANT DATA | |||
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: ORANGE TO RED CRYSTALS. CHEMICAL DANGERS: May explode on heating. The substance is a strong oxidant and reacts with combustible and reducing materials. The solution in water is a weak acid. Reacts violently with organic solvents. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV: (as Cr) 0.05 mg/m³ as TWA; A1 (confirmed human carcinogen); BEI issued; (ACGIH 2005). MAK: (Inhalable fraction); sensitization of skin (Sh); Carcinogen category: 2; (DFG 2004). |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance is corrosive to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. Corrosive on ingestion. The substance may cause effects on the kidneys and liver, resulting in tissue lesions. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. Repeated or prolonged inhalation exposure may cause asthma. The substance may have effects on the respiratory tract and kidneys, resulting in nasal septum perforation and kidney impairment. This substance is carcinogenic to humans. May cause heritable genetic damage to human germ cells. Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes toxicity to human reproduction or development. | ||
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |||
|
Melting point (decomposes): 180°C Density: 2.15 g/cm³ Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20°C: 36 |
|||
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |||
|
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. The substance may cause long-term effects in the aquatic environment.
| |||
| NOTES | |||
|
Do NOT take working clothes home. Rinse contaminated clothes (fire hazard) with plenty of water. Anyone who has shown symptoms of asthma due to this substance should avoid all further contact. The symptoms of asthma often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.
