Ceric Ammonium Nitrate 16774-21-3 90 - 100% Yes
Inhalation: Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may
include coughing, shortness of breath.
Ingestion: Large doses of nitrates may cause dizziness, abdominal cramps,
vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weakness, convulsions, and collapse.
Skin Contact: Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness,
itching, and pain.
Eye Contact: Causes irritation, redness, and pain.
Chronic Exposure: Under some circumstances methemoglobinemia occurs in
individuals when the nitrate is converted by bacteria in the stomach to nitrite.
Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, rapid heart beat, irregular breathing, convulsions,
coma, and death can occur should this conversion take place.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention.
Ingestion: Give several glasses of water to drink to dilute. If large
amounts were swallowed, get medical advice.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash
clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention
immediately.
Fire: Not combustible, but substance is a strong
oxidizer and its heat of reaction with reducing agents or combustibles may cause
ignition. This oxidizing material can increase the flammability of adjacent
combustible materials.
Explosion: Contact with oxidizable substances may cause extremely violent
combustion. Sensitive to mechanical impact.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water spray.
Special Information: Wear full protective clothing and breathing
equipment for high-intensity fire or potential explosion conditions.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Separate from combustible, organic, or any other readily oxidizable materials. Isolate from incompatible substances. Do not store on wooden floors. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Airborne Exposure Limits: None established.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust
ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the
contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work
area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of
Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where
exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible,
a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. If oil
particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a
NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels
are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient
atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain
and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Appearance: Small, orange-red, monoclinic crystals.
Odor: Slight characteristic odor.
Solubility: 141g/100ml water @ 25C (77F).
Density: No information found.
pH: No information found.
% Volatiles by volume @ 21C (70F): 0
Boiling Point: No information found.
Melting Point:No information found.
Vapor Density (Air=1): No information found.
Vapor Pressure (mm Hg): No information found.
Evaporation Rate (BuAc=1): No information found.
Stability: Stable under ordinary conditions of use
and storage.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Oxides of nitrogen. Hazardous Polymerization:
Will not occur. Incompatibilities:
Flammable and organic materials, reducing agents, powdered aluminum, boron
phosphide, cyanides, esters, phospham, phosphorus, sodium cyanide, sodium
hypophosphite, stannous chloride, and thiocyanates.
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, shock, friction, incompatibles.
No LD50/LC50 information found relating to normal routes of occupational exposure.
