Diamond	Hazard	Value	Description
3 2 4	Health	2	Can cause temporary incapacitation or residual injury.
	Flammability	3	Can be ignited under almost all ambient temperature conditions.
	Instability	4	Readily capable of detonation or explosive decomposition or explosive reaction at normal temperatures and pressures.
	Special

A colorless solution of glyceryl trinitrate (nitroglycerin) in water. If allowed to dry out, the remaining nitroglycerin is explosive.

• Explosive
• Strong Oxidizing Agent

No rapid reaction with air. No rapid reaction with water.

Excerpt from ERG Guide 113 [Flammable Materials (Wet / Desensitized Explosive)]:

Flammable/combustible material. May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. DRIED OUT material may explode if exposed to heat, flame, friction or shock; treat as an explosive (ERG Guide 112). Keep material wet with water or treat as an explosive (ERG Guide 112). Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. (ERG, 2024)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 113 [Flammable Materials (Wet / Desensitized Explosive)]:

Some are toxic and may be fatal if inhaled, ingested or absorbed through skin. Specifically, Dinitrophenol, wetted (UN1320); Dinitrophenolates, wetted (UN1321), Sodium dinitro-o-cresolate, wetted (UN1348); and Barium azide, wetted (UN1571) are known to be toxic. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause environmental contamination. (ERG, 2024)

GLYCERYL TRINITRATE SOLUTION is incompatible with the following: Heat, ozone, shock, acids. Note: An OSHA Class A Explosive (1910.109). (NIOSH, 2024). It may react vigorously with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides. Incompatible with ozone, acids.

• Nitro, Nitroso, Nitrate, and Nitrite Compounds, Organic

Use caution: Liquids with this reactive group classification have been known to react with the absorbents listed below.

• Cellulose-Based Absorbents
• Expanded Polymeric Absorbents

Excerpt from ERG Guide 113 [Flammable Materials (Wet / Desensitized Explosive)]:

IMMEDIATE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE: Isolate spill or leak area immediately for at least 100 meters (330 feet) in all directions.

LARGE SPILL: Consider initial evacuation for 500 meters (1/3 mile) in all directions.

FIRE: If tank, rail tank car or highway tank 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, 2024)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 113 [Flammable Materials (Wet / Desensitized Explosive)]:

CARGO FIRE: DO NOT fight fire when fire reaches cargo! Cargo may EXPLODE! Stop all traffic and clear the area for at least 1600 meters (1 mile) in all directions and let burn. Do not move cargo or vehicle if cargo has been exposed to heat.

TIRE OR VEHICLE FIRE: Use plenty of water - FLOOD it! If water is not available, use CO2, dry chemical or dirt. If possible, and WITHOUT RISK, use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles from maximum distance to prevent fire from spreading to cargo area. Pay special attention to tire fires as re-ignition may occur. Stand by, at a safe distance, with extinguisher ready for possible re-ignition. (ERG, 2024)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 113 [Flammable Materials (Wet / Desensitized Explosive)]:

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.

SMALL SPILL: Flush area with large amounts of water.

LARGE SPILL: Wet down with water and dike for later disposal. KEEP "WETTED" PRODUCT WET BY SLOWLY ADDING FLOODING QUANTITIES OF WATER. (ERG, 2024)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 113 [Flammable Materials (Wet / Desensitized Explosive)]:

Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural firefighters' protective clothing provides thermal protection but only limited chemical protection. (ERG, 2024)
