A clear colorless liquid with an ammonia-like odor. Flash point -35°F. Less dense than water and soluble in water. Vapors are heavier than air. Produces toxic oxides of nitrogen during combustion. Used in chemical analysis and to make other chemicals.

• Highly Flammable

Highly flammable. Slightly soluble in water.

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Extreme danger, enter with great care. Thermal decomposition may produce nitrogen oxides, CO and/or CO2.

Behavior in Fire: Keep away from heat and open flame; can react vigorously. (USCG, 1999)

INHALATION: Mucous membrane and respiratory tract irritation. Tracheitis, bronchitis, pneumonitis, and pulmonary edema. EYES: Severe corneal damage or complete eye destruction. SKIN: Single drop-deep necrosis. INGESTION: Corrosive to G.I. tract. (USCG, 1999)

Colorless, alkaline liquid, very volatile (b. p. 48°C), moderately toxic, highly flammable. Dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame, sparks, or strong oxidizers. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of oxides of nitrogen. Incompatible with triethylaluminum, complex may explode on sublimation [Chini, P. et al., Chim. e Ind (Milan), 1962, 44, p. 1220].

Excerpt from 132 [Flammable Liquids - Corrosive]:

IMMEDIATE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE: Isolate spill or leak area for at least 50 meters (150 feet) in all directions.

SPILL: Increase the immediate precautionary measure distance, in the downwind direction, as necessary.

FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2020)

Excerpt from 132 [Flammable Liquids - Corrosive]:

Some of these materials may react violently with water.

SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam.

LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. If it can be done safely, move undamaged containers away from the area around the fire. Dike runoff from fire control for later disposal. Do not get water inside containers.

FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. (ERG, 2020)

Excerpt from 132 [Flammable Liquids - Corrosive]:

ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. A vapor-suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material. For hydrazine, absorb with DRY sand or inert absorbent (vermiculite or absorbent pads). Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.

LARGE SPILL: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Water spray may reduce vapor, but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces. (ERG, 2020)

Self-contained breathing apparatus, rubber or plastic gloves, splash-proof goggles or face shield. Protective equipment that will prevent contact of liquid or vapor with eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. (USCG, 1999)

Call a physician.

INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Give oxygen if breathing is difficult.

EYES: 15-Minute emergency eye washing. See physician as soon as possible.

SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Flush for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing.

INGESTION: Wash mouth, drink water, get medical aid. (USCG, 1999)
