International Chemical Safety Cards TETRYL ICSC: 0959 TETRYL N-methyl-N,2,4,6-tetranitroaniline Picrylnitromethylamine Nitramine C7H5N5O8 / (NO2)3C6H2N(CH3)NO2 Molecular mass: 287.15 CAS # 479-45-8 RTECS # BY6300000 ICSC # 0959 UN # 0208 EC # 612-017-00-6 TYPES OF HAZARD/ EXPOSURE ACUTE HAZARDS/ SYMPTOMS PREVENTION FIRST AID/ FIRE FIGHTING FIRE Gives off toxic fumes in a fire or explosion. Explosive. NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. NO contact with hot surfaces. CONSIDER EVACUATION. Water may be used on small fires. Do not attempt to extinguish large fires. EXPLOSION Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air. Risk of fire and explosion when shocked or exposed to heat or flame. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding). Do NOT expose to friction or shock. Prevent deposition of dust; closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position. EXPOSURE PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! INHALATION Insomnia. Abdominal pain. Cough. Diarrhoea. Headache. Sore throat. Nosebleeds. Local exhaust or breathing protection. Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration if indicated. Refer for medical attention. SKIN Redness. Yellow stains of skin and hair. Protective clothing. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Wear protective gloves when administering first aid. 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 Nausea. (see Inhalation). Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Refer for medical attention. SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! (extra personal protection: P3 filter respirator for toxic particles). Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants. Keep in the dark. Keep in a separate building protected from shock, under lock and key.

International Chemical Safety Cards TETRYL ICSC: 0959 I M P O R T A N T D A T A PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: ODOURLESS, COLOURLESS TO YELLOW CRYSTALS PHYSICAL DANGERS: Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air. CHEMICAL DANGERS: May explosively decompose on shock, friction, or concussion. The substance decomposes explosively on heating to 187°C. Reacts with some oxidants causing fire and explosion hazard. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs): TLV: 1.5 mg/m3 (as TWA) (ACGIH 1997). OSHA PEL: TWA 1.5 mg/m3 skin NIOSH REL: TWA 1.5 mg/m3 skin NIOSH IDLH: 750 mg/m3 ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on dispersion of aerosol. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the nervous system. 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 liver, kidneys and blood. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Melting point: 130°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.57 Solubility in water: none Vapour pressure, kPa at 20°C: <0.1 Flash point: explodes in air at 187°C ENVIRONMENTAL DATA N O T E S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ICSC: 0959 TETRYL © IPCS, CEC, 1993
