General Description
Colorless odorless aqueous solution. Sinks and mixes with water. (USCG, 1999)
Hazards
Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic hydrogen fluoride and cadmium oxide fumes may form in fires. (USCG, 1999)
Health Hazard
Ingestion produces severe toxic symptoms; both kidney and liver injuries may occur; may be fatal. Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
CADMIUM FLUOROBORATE acts as a weakly acidic inorganic salt, which is soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydrogen ions and have pH's of less than 7.0. They react as acids to neutralize bases. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of inorganic acids, inorganic oxoacids, and carboxylic acid. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible. Many of these compounds catalyze organic reactions.

First Aid
INHALATION: remove patient to fresh air; seek medical attention.
INGESTION: call a physician at once; if victim is conscious, induce vomiting by giving a tablespoon of salt in a glass of warm water and repeat until vomit is clear; give milk or whites of eggs beaten with water; keep patient warm and quiet.
EYES: flush with plenty of water and get medical attention.
SKIN: flush with plenty of water. (USCG, 1999)
