Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble. May generate large amounts of heat when dissolved in water.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Contain toxic and corrosive fumes of sodium monoxide (Na 2 O).
Behavior in Fire: Noncombustible; however, if heated to dryness, resulting soilds may ignite spontaneously in air to yield toxic and corrosive fumes containing sodium monoxide (Na 2 O). (USCG, 1999)
Behavior in Fire: Noncombustible; however, if heated to dryness, resulting soilds may ignite spontaneously in air to yield toxic and corrosive fumes containing sodium monoxide (Na 2 O). (USCG, 1999)
Health Hazard
Inhalation of mist may be harmful. Contact causes burns to eyes and skin. Caustic; harmful if swallowed. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
Incompatible with copper, copper alloys, zinc or aluminum (USCG, 1999). Combustion products contain toxic and corrosive fumes of sodium monoxide (Na2O).
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)
Potentially Incompatible Absorbents
No information available.
Response Recommendations
![](javascript:dropDownText("sec3_help","sec3_help_marker","/static/images/dropdown_opened.gif","/static/images/dropdown_closed.gif"))
The
Response Recommendation fields
include isolation and evacuation distances, as well as recommendations for
firefighting, non-fire response, protective clothing, and first aid. The
information in CAMEO Chemicals comes from a variety of
data sources.
Isolation and Evacuation
No information available.
Firefighting
Fire Extinguishing Agents Not to Be Used: Do not use dry chemicals containing ammonium salts or urea. These compounds may react with the caustic solution to generate toxic ammonia gas.
Fire Extinguishing Agents: Small fires: dry chemical (no ammonium salts or urea), carbon dioxide, water spray or foam; large fires: water spray, fog or foam. (Spilled material may ignite if allowed to dry.) (USCG, 1999)
Fire Extinguishing Agents: Small fires: dry chemical (no ammonium salts or urea), carbon dioxide, water spray or foam; large fires: water spray, fog or foam. (Spilled material may ignite if allowed to dry.) (USCG, 1999)
Non-Fire Response
No information available.
Protective Clothing
Wear self-contained (positive pressure if available) breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. (USCG, 1999)
DuPont Tychem® Suit Fabrics
No information available.
First Aid
INHALATION: Move victim to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
EYES OR SKIN: Flush with running water for at least 15 min.; hold eyelids open if necessary. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes at the site.
INGESTION: If victim is conscious, have victim drink water or milk. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If victim is unconscious or having convulsions, do nothing except keep victim warm. (USCG, 1999)

Physical Properties
![](javascript:dropDownText("sec4_help","sec4_help_marker","/static/images/dropdown_opened.gif","/static/images/dropdown_closed.gif"))
The
Physical Property fields
include properties such as vapor pressure and
boiling point, as well as explosive limits and
toxic exposure thresholds
The information in CAMEO Chemicals comes from a variety of
data sources.
Note: For Vapor Density and Specific Gravity, comparing the value to 1.0 can tell you if the chemical will likely sink/rise in air or sink/float in fresh water (respectively). Short phrases have been added to those values below as an aid. However, make sure to also consider the circumstances of a release. The Vapor Density comparisons are only valid when the gas escaping is at the same temperature as the surrounding air itself. If the chemical is escaping from a container where it was pressurized or refrigerated, it may first escape and behave as a heavy gas and sink in the air (even if it has a Vapor Density value less than 1). Also, the Specific Gravity comparisons are for fresh water (density 1.0 g/mL). If your spill is in salt water (density about 1.027 g/mL), you need to adjust the point of comparison. There are some chemicals that will sink in fresh water and float in salt water.
