EXPLOSION


EXPOSURE
PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!

  • INHALATION
    		• Cough. Sneezing.
    		Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.
    		Fresh air, rest.
  • SKIN

    		• Protective gloves.
    		Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
  • EYES
    		• Mildly irritant.

    PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
     WHITE POWDER OR GRANULES.

    PHYSICAL DANGERS:

    CHEMICAL DANGERS:
     The substance decomposes on heating or on burning producing toxic and irritating fumes including sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxides.

    OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs):
     TLV not established.


    		ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
     The substance can be absorbed into the body through the skin.

    INHALATION RISK:
     Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed.

    EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
     The substance irritates the eyes.

    EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
     Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.
    PHYSICAL
    PROPERTIES
    Melting point: see Notes°C
    		 Solubility in water: poor
    ENVIRONMENTAL
    DATA
         		The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms.
    N O T E S
    Temperature of decomposition unknown in literature. MBBH 766, Tinopal, Mikephor, Blankophor and C.I. Fluorescent Brightener 260 are trade names.
